Sup /sci/

I want to learn calculus on my own, can you guys recommend me how I should go about this?

Also, do you suggest I should learn calculus? I have some mathematical background in statistics, probability and game theory.

Thanks!

pic related, it's newton

This.


but why? why do you randomly feel like learning calculus?

if it was useful to you in any way possible, surely you would take a class in it at a uni or cc

which is why I want to learn it faggot.

I've almost (by next week) finished my degree in Management and European Languages, which is great and all, but I've been pining to learn something a bit more scientific since chemistry at A level.

I've been keeping myself occupied with books on quantum physics and general relativity while I was still studying, but now I want to do something more practical, so I thought why not start learning calculus.
So with regards to Khan Academy, shall I start at Intro to Limits and work my way through?

Limits are algebra, but understanding them are important for learning calculus, so go ahead, the worse case scenario is you reviewing something.
