This Calculus 3 Course has hundreds of videos:)
Note: If you know some Calculus 1 you could probably jump in and complete a significant portion of this course without Calculus 2.
Basically just,
1) Watch the videos, and try to follow along with a pencil and paper, take notes!
2) Try to do the problems before Ido them(if you can!)
3) Repeat!
Calculus 3 is an absolutely beautiful subject. I hope you enjoy watching these videos and working through these problems as much as Ihave:)
Note this course has lots of very short videos. If you are trying to learn math then this format can be good because you don't have to spend tons of time on the course every day. Even if you can only spend time doing 1 video a day, that is honestly better than not doing any mathematics. You can learn a lot and because there are so many videos you could do 1 video a day for a very long time. Remember that math can be challenging and time consuming, so if you just do a little bit every day it can make your journey much more enjoyable. Ihope you enjoy this course and learn lots of mathematics.
