Where does Calculus I end?

[In The Great White North]

I recently acquired the set of Calculus DVD's (with Dana Mosely) and have been comparing them to the Foersters Table of Contents, hoping to not have to buy yet another textbook. Since the DVDs are supposed to be Calculus I, II and III (Multivariable) and there is an 85% - 90% overlap with Foerster, I am coming to the conclusion that Foerster (Calculus Concepts and Applications) covers more than Calculus I. Is this correct?

If so, where does Calculus I end and Calculus II begin?

I think traditionally, Calc I is Differentiation and Calc II is Integration.... but the local universities here are starting a little Integration in Calc I to take some of the load off Calc II.

Most Calc I courses cover the Fundamental Theorem of the Integral Calculus including some basic integration. Often a Calc II course begins with solids of revolution, then moves to integration techniques, followed by sequences and series.

My son is doing this course. Calculus 1 ends when you have finished chapter 5 of the Larson text.

You might be interested to note that the instructor from Chapter 6 on is not Dana Mosely.

You can also go to the Chalkdust website to look at the course outline.

Calculus goes on forever. There is no limit. :)

I thought a limit was one of the concepts you learned about in calculus. Are you telling us it doesn't exist after all? :(:(

Oh....terrible pun!
