Calculus tutorial DVDs and video links

In summary, these online lectures from Professor Mosley are a great supplement to the Larson textbook. They are thorough, but the DVDs do skip some sections.

I thought I would share these links with others taking calculus courses right now.

My calculus course is using the textbook Calculus 8th edition by Larson, Hostetler, Edwards. For anyone wanting to supplement their current calculus course I strongly recommend purchasing the lecture DVDs. Dana Mosley gives an excellent lecture on EVERY section covered in this book. The ISBN for the DVDs can be found on this web page.

Here's an example at this site of what the lectures on the DVDs are like...

I've found some online calculus lectures from this university. There are lectures for Calc I and Calc II. Nice but not as thorough as the DVDs...

If anyone has any other links please contribute...
Thanks

Those DVD lectures for the Larson book are GREAT! I bought them a while back and have learned a great deal from them. I sure do wish that they had these lectures for the rest of the book. I wonder why they don't.

The DVDs I purchased are for the entire book. They begin to skip some sections once you get to the end of chapter 7. Maybe in the next version of the textbook they will cover all the sections in the DVD.

The sections that are covered are:
P.1-P.4
1.1-1.5
2.1-2.6
3.1-3.9
4.1-4.6
5.1-5.8
6.1-6.4
7.1-7.4
8.2,8.4,8.5,8.7,8.8
9.6,9.8,9.9,9.10
10.2,10.3,10.5
11.2,11.3,11.4,11.5
12.2,12.4
13.3,13.7
14.2,14.7
15.2,15.4,15.8

Since my original post, I found other DVD's from Houghton Mifflin by the same guy, Professor Dana Mosley. They are titled

"Trigonometry" 6th Edition - Instructional DVDs - ISBN: 0-618-31805-4
"Algebra and Trigonometry" 6th Edition - Instructional DVDs - ISBN: 0-618-31791-0

I purchased both of these, again they are both great for a quick review on topics!
