it's good that you know you dont understand it, and want to......a lot of students won't understand it but just go along anyway, like learn how to differentiate/integrate without truly understand what is going on.

as eam mentioned, this site does look really good
http://www.calculus-help.com/funstuff/phobe.html

you don't necessarily need to understand all the stuff like the intermediate value theorem (but that should be obvious anyway), but as a 2unit student you are expected to understand the concept of limits and differentiation from first principles (ie "the difference quotient" section on the calculus-help site)


keep up the good work and you will thank yourself later!
