CEGEP · Differential Calculus · NYA
Calculus I, without the panic.
Limits, derivatives, optimization: the first CEGEP math course catches a lot of students off guard. We explain the theory clearly and practise until the problems become predictable.

The jump from high school to CEGEP
In high school you applied rules. In Calculus I you need to understand why they work, and the pace is much faster. A gap in algebra (factoring, exponents, functions) quickly becomes a wall. We work on both at once: the new material and the foundations underneath it.
What we cover
What we work on together
Definition of the derivative
Rate of change, slope of the tangent, the difference quotient.
Differentiation rules
Product, quotient, chain rule, trig, exponential and log functions.
Implicit differentiation and related rates
The scary word problems, broken into simple steps.
Curve analysis
Increasing and decreasing, extrema, concavity, inflection points and sketching.
Optimization
Turning a word problem into a function, then finding the max or min.

Other subjects
I'm in Social Science with math. Can you help?
Yes. Differential calculus in Social Science or Commerce covers similar ideas, often with more economics applications.
My exam is in a week. Is it too late?
No. We build an intensive review plan focused on your teacher's question types, with sessions close together.
Do you work from my course notes?
Ideally, yes. Send us your notes, past exams or exercises and we follow your course exactly.
Does Calculus I count toward my R score?
Yes, like every course. For competitive programs, a strong math grade can make a real difference.
