Free Video Calculus App Released For the iPad

Thinkwell, a provider of web-based video instruction, has released Video Calculus, a FREE video-based instructional calculus app on the iPad. Thinkwell is known for being one of the first online publishers of educational materials. One of the Thinkwell’s goals was breaking away from the traditional textbook model by using streaming video to connect talented teachers with more students.

Thinkwell has been developing complete online courses for colleges, high schools and homeschool families. Earlier this year, Thinkwell began creating educational materials for mobile devices, introducing Video Biology for the iPhone.



The FREE Video Calculus app includes a comprehensive set of topics from Calculus 1 and 2, and it can be customized to be a companion to any of the major calculus textbooks. The instructional video tutorials feature Dr. Edward Burger, the winner of 2010 Cherry Award for Great Teaching.

The app includes full-color lecture notes and the ability to bookmark and notate videos, using the iPad’s high-quality video and touch technology to create a more accessible and engaging teaching environment.
