The best starting point to learn any subject is to get a textbook. If you go online you can find many students selling their used books, just look at the ratings to see which are the best. Be prepared for some difficulty, as calculus is somewhat challenging to grasp at first.

As calculus is a common subject for the first year undergraduate students, many books and web-sites covering this topic are available.

Find a book such as "Calculus for Dummies" and read it slowly and carefully. Avoid glossy textbooks aimed towards schools and students, they will be expensive and generally less useful.

Learning any kind of math is hard to do on your own but it can be done. The internet is full of videos and websites that will help you with every step. A good calculus book comes in handy as well.

You could buy a text book on Amazon. There are websites to learn calculus like this one: http://www. karlscalculus. org/calculus. html#toc. Calculus is a topic on wikibooks: http://en. wikibooks. org/wiki/Calculus/Introduction. You could use an online tutoring site (some are free and others are not).
