Calculus 1 is brought to you by Velle Logs and built for students who want to understand—not just survive—this foundational math course. Whether you’re a STEM major, pre-med student, or a curious mind who wants to finally get calculus, this course was designed with you in mind.

We know how overwhelming calculus can feel. We've been there—wrestling with limits, derivatives, and confusing notation. That’s why this course doesn’t just throw formulas at you. It walks with you, step-by-step, through concepts, logic, and applications. You’ll be part of a learning community focused on growth, not perfection, and supported every step of the way.

What You Will Learn

Limits & Continuity: What does it mean to “approach” a number? Understand how limits lay the groundwork for everything else in calculus—and how they help you describe real-world change with precision.

Derivatives: Learn what it means to take the derivative of a function—both visually and algebraically. From velocity to slope to optimization, derivatives are the language of change.

Rules of Differentiation: Master the product rule, quotient rule, chain rule, and more. These are the tools that let you solve real-world problems with confidence.

Applications of Derivatives: Tackle max/min problems, related rates, and motion. This is where calculus meets reality—from engineering to economics to medicine.

Introduction to Integrals: You’ll dip your toes into the world of accumulation and area under curves. This gentle intro sets you up for success in Calculus 2.

Who Should Take This Course?

High School Students (AP Calculus AB or equivalent): Perfect for students who want to strengthen their foundation, preview topics, or review in a structured and supportive way.

College Students: Whether you’re taking Calc 1 for the first time or re-taking it to solidify your understanding, this course meets you where you are.

Homeschool Learners: With full lessons, guided practice, and optional community discussions, you can move at your pace and still feel part of a learning community.

Lifelong Learners: If you’ve always wanted to understand calculus but never had the right teacher, this is your moment. We’re here for the “aha!” moments—no matter your age or background.
