Calculus in Context - The Five College Calculus Course

For courses currently engaged, or leaning toward calculus reform. The authors fully embrace the calculus reform movement in technology and pedagogy, while taking it a step further with a unique organization and applications to real-world problems. The book aims to: • Develop calculus in the context of scientific and mathematical questions. • Treat systems of differential equations as fundamental objects of study. • Construct and analyze mathematical models. • Use the method of successive approximations to define and solve problems. • Develop geometric visualization with hand-drawn and computer graphics. • Give numerical methods a more central role. • Encourage collaborative work. • Empower students to use calculus as a language and a tool. • Make students comfortable tackling large, messy, ill-defined problems. • Foster an experimental attitude towards mathematics. • Help students appreciate the value of approximate solutions. • Develop the sense that understanding concepts arises out of working on problems, not simply from reading the text and imitating its techniques.
