Youtube Summary
Learn Calculus 1 in this full college course.

This course was created by Dr. Linda Green, a lecturer at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Check out her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkyLJh6hQS1TlhUZxOMjTFw

This course combines two courses taught by Dr. Green. She teaches both Calculus 1 and a Calculus 1 Corequisite course, designed to be taken at the same time. In this video, the lectures from the Corquisite course, which review important Algebra and Trigonometry concepts, have been interspersed with the Calculus 1 lectures at the places suggested by Dr. Green.

It's going to take more than 12 hours to actually become proficient in the material.

I think the core ideas are actually rather simple. In my opinion, the bulk of time studying calculus is memorizing _algorithms_ for conducting differentials and integrations and which algorithms to apply, say, to find the area of a solid; which is arguably a great fault in mathematics pedagogy.

The bulk of my time was spent doing practice problems until I was sure I understood how to solve them - so that I was sure I knew when to apply algorithms. Also some brutally long assignments.
Breza
Totally agree. Watch a course like this, read something like Calculus Made Easy by Silvanus P. Thompson, and then work through all the problems in a book like Calculus Workbook For Dummies. Watch Khan Academy to fill in any areas where you're struggling.

Similar opinion here. Seems like there are only 2 or 3 key principles that must be known to understand calculus. Most anyone could probably understand limits and the Riemann sum.
