ESC194: Calculus I (Study Plan and Resources)


Preface: The course textbook (Stewart, Clegg and Watson, Calculus, Ninth Edition, Cengage Publishing Co., 2020) is phenomenal. Reading the respective textbook chapters will serve you well in this course. However, many of us learn better through different mediums. Thus, I have created this study plan which consists of YouTube videos which will also take you through the respective course content. I suggest watching the videos and then doing the suggested problems from the course textbook. The videos are primarily taken from MAT137: Calculus with Proofs. It is appropriate as ESC194 and ESC195 provide a transfer credit for that course. The videos are made by Alfonso Gracia-Saz who unfortunately passed away in 2021. See here to learn more about his legacy: ‘Passionate, principled and caring’: U of T remembers math professor Alfonso Gracia-Saz. The multivariable portion of this course has videos taken from Alexandra Niedden. She teaches the content straight out of the course textbook so it will do well for this course.

Note: The MAT137 videos are appropriately rigorous, however, the videos are decently more rigorous than Professor Davis' lectures.
