Synopsis

A computer-based calculus course consisting of a complete interactive electronic text combined with a rich set of well chosen real life problems. The easy access to powerful technology allows experimentation. In the lab or lassroom the environment allows a partnership between teacher and student with emphasis on student responsibility. Independent study is also possible. Online tutoring is available. The courseware comes on a CD which contains all of the lessons, some extra tools, and Adobe PDF files for printing selected parts of the lessons: Lessons: 2D and 3D Measurements: Parametrics and Vectors, Vector Functions, Gradients and Flow, 2D and 3D Integrals.
