These are notes I’m taking while learning calculus from scratch using Khan Academy.

I’m currently a nontraditional student at Clayton State University. University classes today feel quite different compared to the 1900s when I was last in school. Back then, if I studied the material, I usually did well in the class, even if the topics were new to me. Perhaps because I was younger, things came easier. But now, I’m finding that this is no longer the case.

I’m planning to take Calculus 1 at CSU in 2026, so I’m using Khan Academy to prepare in advance. My first course on Khan Academy is “Getting Ready for Precalculus.”
