SL Coupon Code

@acamp For the Pre-Calc I don't think I will finish it cause I already have Aleks Trig which transfers in as Precalc at TESU. It sucks though cause I already bought the course and the lectures are actually quite easy to follow.

For the Calculus I I'm using the free books from here:

http://www.cds.caltech.edu/~marsden/volume/Calculus/

And I'm also using the Youtube with professor Leonard that guy is awesome. 'Jacked' Calc professor teaches from calc I to calc III really to the point. His biceps do distract a little though.

So I figure I can take August to finish the Calc I book and the YouTube that then watch the SL videos and take the SL exams only, I'm also probably thinking about just doing the Saylor exam probably cause it's like $30 to take it right away vs $100 for SL membership + proctorU fees. I may save that $100 and fees for Calc II. I like the Thinkwell though the guy explains really really good, but the SL exams don't align at all with what is being taught IMHO.

It would be great if SL brought more STEM courses. Probably discrete math, linear algebra and calc III with the explosion in the tech industry machine learning, AI etc. I think a lot more people would go into those fields. At least more "technology" courses could be good probably a data structures and operating systems or computer architecture and python.

Thanks so much for the info and links. I looked up Professor Leonard on YouTube and found this playlist for Calc 1. Could you look at the link and confirm that it’s the right one for Calc 1 that your talking about?

Also, would you say going through all of his Calc 1 youtube videos (32 i think) would be sufficient to pass the Saylor exam without using the books?

Thanks again!

Yeah its the right link. Of course the videos arent enough. Math is a skill, you you have to practice. The book is good because it comes with a student manual and has solutions for odd numbered problems all legally free. Idk if you are like a math genius or something but it's best you look at the videos then do the excercises in the book. Math and programming I know for sure you must practice and understand to pass. Between the two looking at course content on saylor you have a solid chance of passing the saylor course.
