Calculus: Understanding Its Concepts and Methods is a revolutionary CD-based calculus textbook that represents a dramatic change in the teaching and learning of calculus. It opens up a mathematical adventure with explanations, examples, explorations, problems, and self-tests that present calculus concepts and methods within a dynamic Scientific Notebook environment.

The textbook is provided on CD and includes Scientific Notebook 5.5. With the powerful computer algebra system included in Scientific Notebook, students can interactively explore examples and carry out experiments that reveal what calculus is all about. The book utilizes software technology to help students discover concepts interactively. Live calculations, animated plots, and manipulatable graphics and examples help clarify concepts, enhance the presentation of calculus concepts, and illustrate methods. The book is thoroughly indexed and hyperlinked to provide easy navigation and access to relevant information.

Calculus: Understanding Its Concepts and Methods contains the information normally taught in a three-semester calculus sequence. Each chapter presents both basic concepts and computational details, and supplements explanations with tools, popup hints and information, examples, and explorations. With its focus on mathematical problem solving, experimentation, verification, and communication of results, Calculus: Understanding Its Concepts and Methods is an ideal teaching tool for classroom use, independent study, and distance learning.

Features

Use illustrated explanations, animated examples, and opportunities for exploration, the textbook supports the instructor with hints to the student about how to approach problems, extensive problem sets with complete answers, and additional resource material.
Self-tests in each chapter are randomly generated from problem prototypes, providing a virtually unlimited number of distinct quizzes to test students' understanding.
Mathematics can be edited, evaluated, plotted, simplified, factored, and expanded, and the output, also in natural notation, can be used in subsequent computations.
Students are encouraged to think and communicate like mathematicians, entering mathematics into documents using natural notation, not obscure programming syntax.
