The bridge between algebra and calculus: functions studied for their own sake (polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic) plus the complex numbers, sequences and series, conic sections and vectors that calculus will assume you know.

Pyetja që bëjnë njerëzit

What is a function, really?

A rule that assigns exactly one output to each input. The vertical-line test on a graph is the same idea: no input may have two outputs.

Why do we need complex numbers?

Because x² + 1 = 0 has no real solution, and allowing one new number i with i² = −1 makes every polynomial equation solvable. They then turn out to describe rotation, waves and alternating current more naturally than real numbers do.
