RFC: Replace the current Calculus course #24

Closed aweasadbek closed 1 year ago

aweasadbek commented 3 years ago

Current MATH 1313, MATH 1314, MATH 2311 courses by Robert Ghrist requires familiarity with limits, derivatives as stated in the beginning of that course. I tried to take that course but I could not do that as a beginner. All three course should be replaces by Calculus 1A: Differentiation, Calculus 1B: Integration, Calculus 1C: Coordinate Systems & Infinite Series respectively. Otherwise most people would stuck or even give up at calculus section of curriculum

The Computer Science OSSU community has spent a significant amount of time discussing the best Calculus option. Here are two relevant threads: https://github.com/ossu/computer-science/issues/465 https://github.com/ossu/computer-science/issues/689

For the last few years we have used MIT's Calculus courses on edX. These are the courses that @aweasadbek is recommending.
