Calculus Connections, Modules 1 to 8, Laboratory/Workbook (v. 1)

Calculus Connections offers an exciting way to demonstrate calculus. Multimedia elements such as video, sound and interactive simulations bring concepts to life. Each volume contains eight modules which cover all major calculus topics (simple to advanced). Each module has two video sequences to provide a real-life example or application. In addition, there are animations and user-driven simulations. Screen-based explanations, examples and exercises can be accessed instantly. For those who like to be guided, there is a lab book which suggests ways of working through the material.

Calculus Connections offers an exciting way to demonstrate calculus. Multimedia elements such as video, sound and interactive simulations bring concepts to life. There are twenty four modules, 45 minutes each, which cover all major calculus topics (simple to advanced). Each module has two video sequences to provide a real-life example or application. In addition, there are animations and user-driven simulations. Screen-based explanations, examples and exercises can be accessed instantly. For those who like to be guided, there is an optional lab book which suggests ways of working through the material.

An engaging, interactive program designed to permit students to ask ``what if'' types of questions, probe the behavior of a mathematical model and its relationship to life, set up and solve problems individually or in teams. Each of the 24 modules begins with a video of an authentic application involving a calculus concept(s). Dynamic graphics encourage readers to visualize; hyperlinks provide access to additional information exactly when they need it.
