Hello,
I'm interested in learning calculus in order to apply it to my current field of geology (by doing more advanced statistics and groundwater modeling). Considering that I'll study 10 hours per week, about how long should I realistically take to get through the material in Calculus I through III. I have a full time job (environmental consulting) and family (2 kids). I also plan on learning some basic programming (python then R).
I'm currently going through Calculus I on Udemy (Krista King) and also have a few calculus texts for additional detail and practice problems (including Calculus with analytic geometry-Howard Anton and 1000 calculus problems). I'm comfortable enough with algebra to not need to spend time dedicated to it (aside from mini-interludes). I will at some point while going through calculus I go through a review of trigonometry.
