A favorite Calculus resource: blackpenredpen!

If you read my articles regularly, you know that I reference my favorite internet resource for Calculus topics - blackpenredpen - quite often.  His channel is an absolutely incredible resource for math teachers and students, alike.  He does this thing where he takes a topic and sometimes does six hours worth of problems and solutions in one take! Math Marathon!

Here is a boot-camp-style list of my favorite marathon videos and associated resources, as a little bit of a one-stop-shop for refreshers and discussions.  In no particular order:

100 Trinomial factorings

I mean, these are really really great.  I think all of them come with a link to a PDF of all the problems covered, so you can print and solve along with the video or simply use them later for practice.  I wanted to shout these out and endorse them as super helpful to me and to lots of other students. There are many many more videos on blackpenredpen’s channel; please go and have a look!

Thank you, blackpenredpen!
