Calculus is advanced math for the high school student, but it's the starting point for math in the most selective
colleges and universities. Thinkwell's Calculus course covers both Calculus I and Calculus II, each of which is a
one-semester course in college. If you plan to take the AP Calculus AB or AP Calculus BC exam, you should
consider our Calculus for AP courses, which have assessments targeted to the AP exam.
Thinkwell's award-winning math professor, Edward Burger, has a gift for explaining and demonstrating the
underlying structure of calculus, so that your students will retain what they've learned. It's a great head start for
the college-bound math, science, or engineering student.
Our complete Calculus package includes:
12-month Online Subscription to our complete Calculus course with video lessons, automatically graded
calculus problems, and much more.
Printed Notes (optional) are the Calculus course notes from the Online Subscription printed in a black &
white on-the-go format.
CD Set (optional) contains all of the video lessons so that you can watch them when you're away from the
internet.

Williams College
Edward Burger, Professor of Mathematics at Williams College, earned his Ph.D. at
the University of Texas at Austin, having graduated summa cum laude with
distinction in mathematics from Connecticut College.
He has also taught at UT-Austin and the University of Colorado at Boulder, and he
served as a fellow at the University of Waterloo in Canada and at Macquarie University in Australia. Prof. Burger has
won many awards, including the 2001 Haimo Award for Distinguished Teaching of Mathematics, the 2004
Chauvenet Prize, and the 2006 Lester R. Ford Award, all from the Mathematical Association of America. In 2006,
Reader's Digest listed him in the "100 Best of America". After completing his tenure as Gaudino Scholar at Williams,
he was named Lissack Professor for Social Responsibility and Personal Ethics.
Prof. Burger is the author of over 50 articles, videos, and books, including the trade book, Coincidences, Chaos,
and All That Math Jazz: Making Light of Weighty Ideas and of the textbook The Heart of Mathematics: An
Invitation to Effective Thinking. He also speaks frequently to professional and public audiences, referees
professional journals, and publishes articles in leading math journals, including The Journal of Number Theory and
American Mathematical Monthly. His areas of specialty include number theory, Diophantine approximation, p-adic
