Professor Leonard's Calculus 2: study plan and how long it takes

The Professor Leonard playlist is 27 videos and 50.1 hours long. Here's how long it takes at different paces, a week-by-week schedule built from the real videos, and a planner that turns it into your own daily plan.

27 videos · 50.1 hours · Professor Leonard

Professor Leonard's Calculus 2 covers logarithmic, exponential and inverse trig functions, L'Hôpital's rule, integration techniques (parts, trig integrals, trig substitution, partial fractions), first-order differential equations, sequences and series with all the convergence tests, Taylor series, and parametric and polar equations.

It's 50 hours of full-length lectures, so planning matters.

Who it's for: Students taking Calculus 2, particularly those who find series and integration techniques difficult.

How long does it take?

The full playlist is 50.1 hours across 27 videos. Here's roughly how many days that is at different daily watch times and speeds, counting video time only:

Tips for finishing

  • The series unit is the hardest part of Calculus 2. Plan extra days for it.
  • Watch each lecture across two sittings if it's over two hours; the planner shows which ones will need it.
