> This post introduces the Riemann integral

Sweet! I'm keen to learn about the basic fundamentals of calculus!

> For each subinterval ...(bunch of cool maths rendering I can't copy and paste because it's all comes out newline delimited on my clipboard) ... and let m<sub>k</sub> and M<sub>k</sub> denote the infimum and supremum of f on that subinterval...

Okay, guess it wasn't the kind of introduction I had assumed/hoped.

Very cool maths rendering though.

As someone who never passed high school or got a degree thanks to untreated ADHD, if anyone knows of an introduction to the basic fundamentals of calculus that a motivated but under educated maths gronk can grok, I would gratefully appreciate a link or ten.

Yeah, judging by the terseness, this is clearly aimed at undergrads. Then again, this is covered in literally every calculus class, so I'm not sure who this is supposed to be for.

Fair, sorry about that

I recommend Math Academy + Mathematica + YouTube + ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude Opus and a LOT of motivation.

Thx for the plug @Delphiza

For anyone interested in checking out the book, there is a PDF preview here[1] and printable concept maps[2], which should be useful no matter which book you're reading.
