The Calculus Project

Sam Waterfield, 29.01.2017

Welcome, student, and thank you for visiting. These GeoGebra applets are designed to run alongside your A-level teaching in Year 1 calculus topics. Your teacher will direct you to the appropriate content outside of class but feel free to explore using your earlier calculus knowledge and geometric intuition. You should find a greater appreciation for the applets contained within as you develop your mathematical methods further. Use the extra questions and instructions found on the school VLE to focus your explorations.
