Unlock the Power of Calculus: Algebra 1 to Boaz for Students

In summary, there is an interesting book called "The Fundamental Theorem of Integral Calculus" that can be used after Algebra 1 or incorporated into an Algebra 2/Precalculus course. It covers topics such as logarithms, trig functions, series, complex numbers, and more. The book is recommended for those who believe Calculus should be taught earlier. There are also other similar books available on Amazon.

Here is an interesting book a student could do after after Algebra 1, or even integrate into an Algebra 1 course:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077VV95N3/?tag=pfamazon01-20

And a website:

Several topics become easier, such as logarithms, when you know a smattering of Calculus. You could incorporate knowing it into an Algebra 2/Precalculus course. As it stands, you could probably cover trig functions etc. not covered is the 5-hour course from Kleppner in the last few weeks (which I know is enough to do Boaz):
https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/0471827223/

Having a copy of Boaz, I am confident they would know enough to start on that rather than a traditional Calculus course e.g. it covers series, complex numbers etc., all of which will not need to be covered in the Algebra 2/Precalculus course. I am one of those people that think Calculus is not taught early enough.

Thanks

The Fundamental Theorem of Integral Calculus and why it makes solving integrals trivial. Page 114.

Someone call wolfram alpha!

I'm interested to hear if anyone tries this how it is.
