<p>I'm a Sophmore in High School and throughout most of my High School and middle school life I have been bored following the New York State curriculum for mathematics. Currently I'm in Precalculus and almost dieing of boredom. Are there any good books or websites that I can use to teach myself Calculus?</p>
<p>YouTube, search khanacademy</p>
<p>Which video should I start with?</p>
<p>can you take a calculus course at a local university? i hear new york has some good ones.</p>
<p>also, another place where people go if they're bored with math is art of problem solving:
Art</a> of Problem Solving
welcome to the wonderful world of competition math, you'll find problems there that are actually interesting</p>
<p>I second AoPS. Did you take the AMC 10?</p>
<p>(Calc 1-2 is just as boring.)</p>
<p>Is Khan Academy really good? Would you recommend watching some of his videos going into Pre-Calculus next year?</p>
<p>Yeah, Khan helps you learn new concepts but he's also really good at helping you reinforce some of your weaker concepts that you've already learned. I used it last summer to get a head start on calculus - in fact by watching the derivative and integration videos I already knew all the rules when we learned them in class.</p>
<p>@BlizzaP - Go to the channel and find the playlist on calculus. Start at the top with the derivative videos.</p>
<p>@coollege - Yeah, I think they'll definitely help.</p>
<p>Get the book "Calculus" by Michael Spivak from Amazon.com and enjoy one of the only real calculus books out there (proper college level book, none of that sissy stuff like Stewart :P).</p>
