Abstract: Following a review of the calculus education literature, an evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the teaching approaches of existing online calculus courses, and a review of common mistakes and misunderstandings that learners demonstrate following traditional instruction, we chose to take a unique approach to teaching the concept of the limit. We also chose to cover a number of analytical methods pertaining to graphing and to functions. Typically, such methods are not taught as standalone topics and may not be explicitly presented at all.
