Math 1a: Introduction to Calculus

Undergraduate course, Harvard University, Department of Mathematics, 2014

I was an undergraduate course assistant for Math 1a: Introduction to Calculus, with several members of the math department at Harvard. I held course office hours, graded homework, and led workshops in pre-calculus. I was on course staff from Fall 2014 to Spring 2017.

A description of the course is below.

Course Information

The development of calculus by Newton and Leibniz ranks among the greatest achievements of the past millennium. This course will help you see why by introducing: how differential calculus treats rates of change; how integral calculus treats accumulation; and how the fundamental theorem of calculus links the two. These ideas will be applied to problems from many other disciplines.
