...Professor Michel, Needless to say perhaps, but I can only add to all the positive responses you have received on this presentation, about what a derivative is, that it is very meticulous! Thank you, Jan-W

Hello, I am a 9th grader studying in India and I show a very deep interest in understanding calculus. What should be the proper course which I should follow before I start on the topics of Derivatives and Integrals? Also, are there certain concepts which I should have a deep understanding of, other than: Trigonometry, Algebra and Functions alongside limits for differentiation?
