The best set of calculus 1 practice problems


Hey Reader,

Here's something I hear from calculus students a lot:

"It makes sense when I watch someone else do it but when I sit down and go to solve problems, I don't know where to start."

It can be really frustrating solving a calculus problem from a textbook that only has answers because if you get stuck you have nowhere to go.

To solve this, I created the Complete Calculus 1 Problem Set with 108 practice problems with full detailed solutions that show every step of the process not just the final answer.

So you can see not just the steps but what I'm thinking about as I'm solving the problems.

Hey Reader, Summer is a great time to keep up with math and science. Without regular practice, a lot of what students learned over the year can slip by September. We're running tutoring sessions all summer for high school students in: 🧮 Math 💡 Physics ⚗️ Chemistry 🧬 Biology Both in-person here in Victoria and online, so it works no matter where you're spending the summer. Summer Offer This summer we have a prepaid 8-session package where you save $40. It's a good option if you want consistent...

Hey Reader, For students in UVic or Camosun summer courses, midterms are coming up fast. These are a few things that tend to make a real difference in the week or two beforehand. Work through past exams. Most professors post them. Do the questions with your notes closed, mark yourself honestly, then figure out what you got wrong and why. Stop highlighting. It feels productive and isn't. If you can't explain a concept in your own words without looking at your notes, you don't know it yet. Wear...

Hey Reader, PHYS 110 and 111 are among the most failed courses at UVic. A lot of first-year students go in thinking it will be similar to high school physics. It isn't. The course moves fast, the content gets locked week by week, and the tests are entirely multiple-choice. That last part trips up a lot of people because multiple-choice physics requires a different kind of preparation than most students expect. The resources provided in these courses are actually not bad. There are lots of...
