No! This program is designed to introduce you to college mathematics. Having completed Algebra 2 provides sufficient background. We'll explain concepts intuitively before diving into technical details.
No, this is an exploration and preview course. You'll understand what calculus is about and how it's used, but this doesn't replace a full calculus course. Think of it as a roadmap to help you navigate your math education.
Yes! Understanding the big picture of calculus and how it connects to other areas of mathematics provides valuable context that makes AP Calculus more meaningful and easier to understand.
Classes are held live online every Sunday from 10 AM to 1 PM EST for 4 consecutive weeks. Each 3-hour session includes conceptual explanations, visual demonstrations, problem-solving discussions, and Q&A time.
No, we focus on understanding concepts and seeing the big picture rather than grinding through calculations. You'll understand what each branch of mathematics is about and why it matters, not memorize formulas.
Yes! Students who complete all four sessions receive a Certificate of Completion from EdQuill Academy, documenting their achievement in exploring college mathematics.
