IMO "made easy" would involve connecting everything single concept in calculus immediately to the whole reason it exists - physics.
I made the mistake of taking algebra-based physics, then calculus, and only after the calculus course did I realize how much harder I made my life by not starting with calculus (and learning it as the mathematical language of physics).

- math_dandy 2y agoI’ve always found it kind of badass that physics students are just expected to pick up the math they need as they study the physics.
- bigger_cheese 2y agoWhen you mention linking to physics are you talking about Parametric equations? i.e something like, Distance, Velocity and Acceleration with respect to Time. Velocity is rate of change of Distance in respect to time (ds/dt) Acceleration is rate of change of velocity in respect to time (dv/dt) You can derive the equations of motion v^2 = u^2 + 2as etc. Things like the Bernoulli equation from Fluid Dynamics and a lot of other engineering principles can be derived this way.
