Synopsis

This is a Calculus text with a difference. The focus is on concepts and on problems and approaches to solving them, rather than on the techniques and methods of Calculus. The subject matter is that of introductory, single-variable Calculus, but with a heavy emphasis on intuitive inferences from graphing, and includes a chapter on probability. This is a groundbreaking text in the Calculus Reform movement.
