Calculus books have become full of clutter, distracting margin notes, and unneeded features.
This calculus book clears out that clutter so that students can focus on the important
ideas of calculus. The goal was to create a clean, streamlined calculus book that is accessible
and readable for students while still upholding the standards required in science,
mathematics, and engineering programs, and that is fl exible enough to accommodate different
teaching and learning styles.
This particular book is an alternative edition of Taalman/Kohn Calculus that covers
Calculus I and part of what is usually taught as Calculus II, together with precalculus and
algebra material. Students who need to strengthen their precalculus and algebra backgrounds
while taking calculus can start with this book for an extended Calculus I course
and then proceed to a Calculus II course using any other calculus text (although this
book is structured to work particularly well with a continuation of the course using
Taalman/Kohn Calculus).
