Course consists of 24 lectures in 2 parts. Each part consists of 2 videodiscs and each videodisc consists of six lectures. The course guidebook covers the 24 lectures contained in all 4 videodiscs, Parts 1&2.

Lecturer: Michael Starbird.

The course explores the rich variations and applications of the fundamental ideas of calculus. it develops the concepts of calculus from several points of view, seeing ideas geometrically and graphically, interpreting ideas in terms of familiar formulas for areas and volumes, and much more. Finally, the course explores the use of calculus in describing the physical, biological, and architectural worlds -- guidebook.
