Calculus I is a standard college-level introduction to differential and integral calculus. The course is designed for students working on a degree in science, mathematics, and those planning on certain types of graduate work. In particular, it prepares students for Calculus III and upper-level quantitative courses in social sciences or economics. For example, this course is a prerequisite for Columbia University's Intermediate Microeconomics and Intermediate Macroeconomics courses. The course takes place 12 sessions of 2 hours each, consisting of classroom lectures and problem-solving activities.
