AI Tutor-Enabled Self-Paced Professional Course Book
Understand calculus, not just memorise it. Solve exam problems step by step with an AI tutor beside you.
Calculus I & II is a self-paced course book that takes you from limits and continuity to integration techniques, sequences and series. Every topic is explained in plain language, worked through with examples and backed by practice and AI Tutor prompts, so you can learn at your own pace and check your own work.
Is this you?
You can follow examples in class but freeze on a new problem
Limits and the epsilon idea feel abstract
You mix up the product, quotient and chain rules
Integration by parts and substitution feel like guesswork
Word problems on rates and optimisation are hard to set up
Series convergence tests all blur together
This course book is built to close exactly that gap: clear explanations, worked practice and an AI tutor that guides you instead of just giving answers.

Use AI as your personal tutor, not an answer machine
The course book includes ready-to-use prompts for ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini or any capable AI assistant. Each mode makes the AI teach, guide, check or challenge you, so you build real understanding.
1TEACH ME
Explain [topic] in Calculus I & II to me step by step at a [beginner / intermediate / advanced] level. Use a simple example first, then a harder one, and ask me a question to check I understood.
2GUIDE ME
I am working on this problem: [paste problem]. Do not give me the answer. Give me one hint at a time and wait for my next step.
3CHECK MY WORK
Here is my solution: [paste working]. Check each step, tell me exactly where any mistake is and why, but let me correct it myself.
4CHALLENGE ME
Give me three exam-style Calculus I & II questions on [topic], getting harder each time. Wait for my answers, then mark them and explain what I missed.
5HELP ME APPLY IT
Show me how [topic] from Calculus I & II is used in a real situation, then give me a small task to try it myself.
Verify before you trust
Ask a clear, specific question
Solve it yourself first
Test the answer by substituting or estimating
Check it against the worked examples in the book
Validate with your teacher if the AI and the book disagree
Don’t just study it. Build evidence you can show.
Project 1
Rates of Change Report
Model a real rate-of-change situation, such as a draining tank, and explain each step.
Project 2
Optimisation Case Study
Choose a business or design problem and find the optimal solution with derivatives.
Project 3
Area and Volume Workbook
Solve a set of geometry problems with integrals and show your working.
Project 4
Series Approximation Investigation
Compare Taylor approximations against true values and discuss the error.

Frequently asked questions
Is this suitable if I struggled with maths before?
Yes. Module 1 rebuilds the algebra and functions you need, and the AI Tutor prompts let you slow down on any step.
Does it cover both Calculus I and Calculus II?
Yes. Modules 1–5 cover differential calculus and modules 6–10 cover integral calculus, sequences and series.
Can I use it alongside my university course?
Yes. The modules follow the order most first-year calculus courses use, so you can study each topic as it comes up in class.
Do I need a graphing calculator?
No. A free graphing tool such as Desmos is helpful for visualising, but all examples can be done by hand.
How do I get the course book after paying?
Your download link appears on the order confirmation page straight away, is emailed to you, and stays in My Courses in your account.
Which AI assistant can I use?
Any capable assistant works, such as ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot or Google Gemini. The prompts are written to work with all of them.
