Calculus uses methods originally based on the summation of infinitesimal differences.
It includes the examination of changes in an expression by smaller and smaller differences.
Mathematics for Applied Sciences (Osnabrück 2023-2024)/Part I is a course for beginners at the University of Osnabrück. It covers logical foundation, sets, mappings, algebraic structures like fields and polynomials, the basics of analysis like sequences, continuity, differentiability, primitive functions and the basics of linear algebra like vector spaces, bases, linear maps, eigenvalues. While course has been taught many times, this is a textbook -- not an online course. The lectures dealing with calculus are as follows.
Wikibooks has a well developed Calculus Book in 10 sections which this Wikiversity web course should mirror to maximize resources.
