This course is for me a revisiting of material I did less than worthily more than 60 years ago. We do not get a 2nd shot at our lives; I might well have done s better job all those years ago if only my introduction was as clear and well structured as this course is. Even so, I think the self-studier is unlikely to get the most out of the course without reference to the provided solutions, very conveniently available as a printed book. Important, though, not to overuse this, particularly not doing the review assignments on the same day as having the reference material open to view. Some of the proof techniques are spookily unsettling, such as the solution for the problem following lecture 6. The first time in all these years I woke to the fact that n in the base definition is R, not just the positive integers, facilitating the swap of significance of m and n, a move I find hard to believe any neophyte would invent for themselves. Definitely start the Mathematics for Engineers with this Calculus course unless you calculus is very sound, and savour the many smart moves in the provided solutions. I am not normally in the business of recommending anything to anyone but in this case cannot but recommend this calculus Course most enthusiastically (and indeed the whole Mathematics for Engineers Specialisation).

I've taken all of Jeffrey Chesnov's courses on Coursera and a large part of my foundational Math skills are because of him. Excellent lectures and I really enjoy listening to his thick New York accent. His books are a great reference too. Despite being listed as beginner difficulty, another provider would probably rate it as intermediate or even advanced. Good companion course for Khan Academy BC I'd say.

This course was an excellent review of college calculus. The professor explains the topic thoroughly and efficiently for an engineer. The practice problems and tests aid in applying the knowledge gained from each lesson/section.
