    Giving a 5 star review because of the videos that were produced, they really taught in a consise manner. However, I think that the Calculus section could have had more videos and more examples.

    only problem I had was with logs. Used khan academy and started from scratch. Also graphing was an issue I had to resolve.

    It's a cool course if you want to quickly refresh differential calculus. Not for deep learning of the topic.
