Calculus
Learn Calculus for Free
Calculus is the study of change, motion and accumulation. It provides tools for understanding how quantities vary and is used across science, engineering, economics, computer graphics and many real-world systems.
This page introduces the main ideas in calculus and links to free, accessible learning resources including games, worksheets and practice materials.

Introduction to Calculus
A beginner overview explaining what calculus is, why it matters, and how limits, derivatives and integrals fit together.
Understanding Limits
Introduces limits, how they describe behaviour near a point and why they form the foundation of calculus.
Derivatives (Basics)
Explains what a derivative represents, simple rules for differentiation and how derivatives describe rates of change.
Integrals (Basics)
Covers the idea of integration, areas under curves and the relationship between derivatives and integrals.
Functions and Graphs
