Im a 9th grader from chennai, india. we dont do calculus this year, but Im extremey interested in learning calculus and trigonometry. Unfortunately, NONE of the books/cd's/webpages i looked at actually explained calculus to a complete beginner. can someone please give an email of a math teacher/ tell me about limit/slope/,etcetc, like for a complete beginner whos got very little idea even about trigonometry? i mean, a direct way to learn the concepts from the beginning, understanding EVERYTHING easily? I am really desperate. Could someone please help out?

I congratulate you on your industriousness. But these are full-year subjects, so you are not going to get meaningful answers in this forum. You need some books.
Here is a link to some paperback books which are ideal for self-study becuae they include lots of solved problems.
As the previous answer says, do trigonometry before calculus.
I wish you good luck.

Not learning trigonometry would deeply harm your path of learning calculus.
Quite a lot of calculus involves using trigonometry and there's a certain method of integration that requires you to substitute trigonometric functions.
Having a bit of knowledge on the sigma and functions will definitely help you understand calculus better.
Read "Calculus the Easy Way".

I am taking a calculus course right now. I would recommend getting the concepts and learning trigonometry first.
There is a lot to learn and trigonomic functions and concepts are used in calculus.

I would strongly suggest learning your trigonometry and precalculus before even attempting calculus. I am now in calc 3 and would have never gotten this far if it weren't for knowing my precalc and trigonometry.

How much algebra have you had? Have you had any geometry? I'd suggest focusing on what you're taking now and making sure you understand it COMPLETELY. It really makes calculus much easier.

I think geometry and algebra are two different animals. Geometry deals mostly with space figures and algebra deals with numbers. So you should have no problem learning geometry without the algebra first.
