Highlights of Calculus
Gilbert Strang, who has taught at MIT since 1962, walks through the core ideas of calculus in a series of short videos organized into sections. Five introductory videos review key topics like limits, derivatives, and integrals and connect them to real-life applications. A further twelve videos focus specifically on differential calculus, again paired with applied examples. Each section comes with summary slides and practice problems for self-testing. The series is aimed at high school students, college students, or anyone needing a refresher, favoring intuition and visual explanation over dense proofs. Materials are free to access through MIT OpenCourseWare, with video editing funded by the Lord Foundation of Massachusetts and development assistance from Professor J.C. Nave. No certificate is offered, but the full video library and problem sets are available for self-paced study.
