18.014 Calculus with Theory
MIT OpenCourseWare
1 recommender · 1 thread · recommended in 1 year, 2019 · score 0.7
A proof-oriented first-year calculus course from MIT OpenCourseWare, the theory-focused alternative to 18.01 covering single-variable calculus with rigorous justification of its concepts.
One commenter suggests it as the more theoretical option for a self-studier past the usual freshman sequence, noting it was not available when they were a student.

Great idea! I've used OCW to "re-take" a class I last had 25 years ago, plus a couple I never took, but never through to do a whole program.
A suggestion: 18.01 and 18.02 are typically taken in the first two semesters of freshman year (and many take 18.03 the first of sophomore year, or even the semester before). As you're well past the high schoolers who push up at MIT, I suggest 18.014 / 18.024 / 18.034 for more theory (those weren't available when I was a student).
It's funny: when I was an undergrad Math was quote popular because it had so few requirements and on your page it still looks that way (compare to course 6). I wonder if they same dynamic still applies?
