Description

The Rule of Four: Each function is represented symbolically, numerically, graphically, and verbally. Functions as models of change is the central theme. Exceptional Problems: Examples and problems based on real data help students create mathematical models to help them understand their world. An appropriate number of drill problems are included to assist students in learning techniques. The problems are varied and some are more challenging. Most cannot be done by following a template in the text. Allows for a broad range of teaching styles. This text is flexible enough for use in large lecture halls, small classes, or in group or lab settings. Focuses on fewer topics than is customary, but each topic is treated in greater depth. Only those topics essential to the study of calculus are included. Reflects the spirit of the standards established by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) and the American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC), and meets the recommendations of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Assumes technology has a place in modern mathematics. This text takes full advantage of technology when appropriate, although no specific technology is emphasized. It is important for students to learn how and when to use technology as a tool, as well as its limitations. However the focus of the text is on conceptual understanding not technology.
