Introduction to Calculus. (formerly Math in Motion)

  • Can an arrow reach its destination if it must first pass through an infinite number of points in between? 
  • How fast is a ball you throw going at the peak of its path? 
  • Is it possible to add up infinitely many numbers? 
  • What does it mean for a car to have a certain speed at a certain instant if it doesn’t really travel any distance in that instant? 

These and other questions and paradoxes are the focus of calculus, and we will investigate them in this course. Students will explore and understand the concept of slope, limit, and derivative, and how they are connected. 

Even though it is called calculus, there won’t be much calculation, but a lot of mental experiments, concept discussions, and fun working together as a group. 

The teacher is Dr. Eli Lebow, who did his undergraduate work at Harvard University in mathematics and physics and his Ph.D. at Cal in mathematics. Among other places, he taught middle school students at the Academic Talent Development Program in Berkeley.

Fantastic age appropriate math content for our 6 yr old at summer camp this year. He still shares stories excitedly about the things he learnt that his older sister can't do!!
