Calculus II has a reputation as one of the hardest math courses in college, mostly because of integration techniques and series. Working through problems 1-on-1 — and seeing which technique to pick and why — is far faster than re-reading the textbook.
What we cover in Calculus II
- Integration techniquesIntegration by parts, trig substitution and partial fractions.
- Area & volumes of revolutionDisk, washer and shell methods.
- Sequences & seriesConvergence and divergence.
- Convergence testsChoosing the right test for each series.
- Taylor & Maclaurin seriesApproximating functions with polynomials.
- Parametric & polar equationsGraphs, slopes and areas.
Signs your child could use a Calculus II tutor
- Cannot tell which integration technique to use
- Series feel like guesswork
- Grade is at risk in a STEM prerequisite
- Studying for AP Calculus BC
“Rick has a gift for breaking down complex concepts into manageable pieces … Rick's patience, enthusiasm, and encouragement has helped build my son's confidence in math, and he consistently looks forward to their sessions.”— Ricki Benjamin, parent
