Calculus is one of the most important courses of many majors, including engineering and
science, and even some non-engineering majors like economics and business, which is taught in
three successive courses at universities and colleges worldwide. Moreover, in many universities
and colleges, a precalculus course is mandatory for under-prepared students as the prerequisite
course of Calculus 1.
Unfortunately, some students do not have a solid background and knowledge in math and
calculus when they start their education in universities or colleges. This issue prevents them
from learning calculus-based courses such as physics and engineering. Sometimes, the problem
escalates, so they give up and leave the university. Based on my real professorship experience,
students do not have a serious issue comprehending physics and engineering courses. In fact, it
is the lack of enough knowledge of calculus that hinder them from understanding those courses.
Therefore, a series of calculus textbooks covering Precalculus, Calculus 1, Calculus 2, and
Calculus 3 have been prepared to help students succeed in their major. The subjects of the
calculus series books are as follows.
• Real Number Systems, Exponents and Radicals, and Absolute Values and Inequalities
• Systems of Equations
• Quadratic Equations
• Functions, Algebra of Functions, and Inverse Functions
• Factorization of Polynomials
• Trigonometric and Inverse Trigonometric Functions
• Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences
• Characteristics of Functions
• Trigonometric Equations and Identities
• Limits and Continuities
• Derivatives and Their Applications
• Definite and Indefinite Integrals
• Applications of Integration
• Sequences and Series and Their Applications
• Polar Coordinate System
• Complex Numbers
