Calculus 1C: Coordinate Systems & Infinite Series (edX)

Sci: Mathematics

Master the calculus of curves and coordinate systems; approximate functions with polynomials and infinite series. Part 3 of 3. How did Newton describe the orbits of the planets? To do this, he created calculus. But he used a different coordinate system more appropriate for planetary motion. We will learn to shift our perspective to do calculus with parameterized curves and polar coordinates. And then we will dive deep into exploring the infinite to gain a deeper understanding and powerful descriptions of functions.
