Calc 1

Calculus I

Here are the notes for my Calculus I course that I teach here at Lamar
University. Despite the fact that these are my “class notes”, they should be
accessible to anyone wanting to learn Calculus I or needing a refresher in
some of the early topics in calculus.

I’ve tried to make these notes as self-contained as possible and so all the
information needed to read through them is either from an Algebra or Trig
class or contained in other sections of the notes.

Here are a couple of warnings to my students who may be here to get a copy
of what happened on a day that you missed.

1. Because I wanted to make this a fairly complete set of notes for


anyone wanting to learn calculus I have included some material that I
do not usually have time to cover in class and because this changes
from semester to semester it is not noted here. You will need to find
one of your fellow class mates to see if there is something in these
notes that wasn’t covered in class.

2. Because I want these notes to provide some more examples for you to
read through, I don’t always work the same problems in class as those
given in the notes. Likewise, even if I do work some of the problems in
here I may work fewer problems in class than are presented here.

3. Sometimes questions in class will lead down paths that are not covered
here. I try to anticipate as many of the questions as possible when
writing these up, but the reality is that I can’t anticipate all the
questions. Sometimes a very good question gets asked in class that
leads to insights that I’ve not included here. You should always talk to
someone who was in class on the day you missed and compare these
notes to their notes and see what the differences are.

4. This is somewhat related to the previous three items, but is important


enough to merit its own item. THESE NOTES ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE
FOR ATTENDING CLASS!! Using these notes as a substitute for class is
liable to get you in trouble. As already noted not everything in these
notes is covered in class and often material or insights not in these
notes is covered in class.
Here is a listing (and brief description) of the material that is in this set of
notes.
