Who The F*!& Are You?
Hi, my name is Luis, and Ihave been tutoring calculus for business (also known as MAC2233 or MAC 2233 in some universities) for the past 8 years. I understand 100% how frustrating, difficult and painful this class is to a lot of business students.
Students hatred for business calculus is well-documented. We tutors of course agree it is difficult. But its difficulty is largely because the explanations provided bytypical textbooks/professors are completelyhorrible. They are unclear, ambiguous and too long.
ThisCourseFor thesereasons, I created the essential business calculus course, specifically designed for business students. This courseavoids the complexity and boringnessof your college textbook/professor to explain concepts and problems clearly. Instead, in this course, you will find the following:
Clear and to-the-point explanations of all the important concepts in business calculusPractice problems for every concept explained, which are done step-by-step with a voiceover so you know exactly what's going onPractice exercises for you to solve after learning a new conceptsDozens of mental tricks (mnemonics) Ihave developed over the years to easily remember definitions and complex rulesA summary of the most important concepts for each section for you to easily reviewTake my course, and business calculuswill finally start making sense for you. Trust me, there will be a lot of "oohs" and "ahhs" in this course :-)Who This Course is For If you are a business student and you are struggling through business calculus, this course was made for you!
MnemonicsI have developed several "mnemonics" (mental tricks used to remember things easily), which will make even the hardest concepts in the class fun and easy to remember. For example you might be wondering...- What does a famousCanadian catchphrase have to do with logarithms?- How in the world are the chain rule and an "uglyXbox" related?- Can thinking about a driver's license help you solve a continuity problem?
These and many moreassociations will have you remembering calculus concepts in a breeze. They are especially useful, as all of us sometimes happen to blank out when we have a question in front of us.
What the Course CoversThe course covers the main topics given in a typical business calculus class. You are pretty much guaranteed to see most, if not all of the topics below as you go through your semester.
Functions and GraphingLimits and ContinuityDerivativesDifferentiation RulesApplications of DerivativesExponential &Logarithmic FunctionsIntegralsOf course, I am always adding new tutorials to this course. If you don't see your topic listed here, send me a private message and I will help in any way I can.
My PromiseAs I explain in the course itself,business calculus is not easy. Especially for business students, who wonder why they have to take this class all the time.
My course removes the frustration out of business calculus and makes things clear.
What my course doesis present business calculus concepts in a structured manner and in a way thatis easy to understand.
By going over the course, and complementing that with going to class and doing your homework, Ican assure you you will crush this class.
Shall We?
Are you ready to conquerbusiness calculus?
As the wiseShia LaBeouf said once, "JUSTDOIT!"P.
S.
If you don't like the course, you can ask for a refund within 30 days. No questions asked! So there's absolutely no risk for you. Give the course a try and see why more than 500 students have crushed business calculus with this course.

not a very good match, expected a faster pace and more advanced examples

It was a good refresher course to remind me of the basics of calculus.

I took this course to be prepared for MS Analytics, which I will start in two months. Calculus was a prerequisite for the MS program. I had taken a Calculus 1 class more than 10 years ago so I needed to refresh my memory. Luis provided a 5-star program. I finished all his courses in 4 days by playing 2x speed. Luis explained the concepts clearly. He provided many exercise problems, which helped me to understand. Luis provided many mnemonics, which I think were bonuses. Some were really funny and helpful. By the way, some mnemonics didn't work for me. haha. If the mnemonics work for you, that is good and take them. If the mnemonics don't work for you, that's fine because his explanations for the concepts were easy to understand and he provided many exercise problems.
At then end of the course, Luis covered a 2-hour lecture about Integrals (Calculus 2). It was nice to cover this topic because Integrals were one of the topic of the prerequisite.
Thank you Luis for your excellent course!

Excellent explanations!!

By Kevin Comaduran on 6/21/2020

The course right is just unbelievable, the professor actually helps the audience understand how to navigate this difficult course, plus business calculus is hard. The professor helps makes the big complex theories into bit sizes packages of information that your brain can understand. For the longest time i never though i would be able to understand business calculus, but now it almost too easy.

By Eusebio Lpez on 6/10/2020

Fue muy bueno, pero me hubiese gustado que incluya definitive integrals

By Cody Seals on 5/11/2020

strong intro and down to earth. I get where he is coming from kinda vibe

By Christopher Jimmy Willis on 5/11/2020

Took this course in addition to the khan academy course and was blown away with how well Luis explains difficult concepts. I am now comfortable with applying calculus to real world problems. Thanks Luis!

By Paramveer Sachdeva on 5/9/2020

Luis is one of the best instructors on Udemy and this is one of the best courses on Udemy that I have taken. Calculus is a pretty difficult subject but Luis has made it fun and easy to understand and I am already looking forward to his course on advanced Calculus.

By Kyle Riley on 4/5/2020

So far it has been helpful to have material provided in more plain terms than what is taught in my actual course. My only complaint/suggestion is that there are certain topics that fall within the sections covered that are not covered in this course that are covered in my college Business Calculus course.

By Joshua Chen on 2/16/2020

It helps me give a preview of what business calculus is.

By Roberts Jankovskis on 2/5/2020

About domain - there is another - logarithmic functions. Im studying BA and we are supposed to recognise it.
