Calculus for Everyone Video Course
Taught by Dr. Mitch Stokes
Pulling from over a decade of teaching calculus, Dr. Mitch Stokes presents the mathematics of change in an extremely effective way for anyone with a first-year course in algebra. The video course accompanies the Calculus for Everyone textbook: one lesson for every chapter, at the whiteboard, with the book’s hand-drawn exercises worked through step by step.

Chapter 5: The Scientific Revolution and the Need for Calculus · previewDr. Stokes teaches from the book at a whiteboard: the chapter’s story first, then the mathematics worked out by hand, the way the student will write it. Watch the lesson, read the chapter, then the study questions and exercises.
Taught byDr. Mitch StokesSenior Fellow of Philosophy and head of math, science and music at New Saint Andrews College; a mechanical engineer before he was a philosopher.
“Anyone of average intellectual horsepower—and a very basic understanding of algebra—can learn the fundamentals of calculus.”

Questions
Do we need the textbook too?
Yes. The lessons teach the book’s chapters and work its exercises; the student reads along and answers the study questions in it. Each student needs a copy.
Where do we watch?
In the Roman Roads app, on a phone, tablet, computer or TV, streamed or downloaded for the road. The course appears in your app as soon as the order goes through.
Is it a subscription?
No. You buy it once and it is yours for life.
Can a co-op or school use it?
Yes, with a group licence, which prices the course by the number of students. Ask us.
Is there a live class?
Kepler Education teaches Calculus for Everyone live online with Dr. Stokes’s book.
Calculus is for everyone.
