A fresh approach to teaching Calculus,
By Robby "Rob" (Houston Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Essential Calculus with Motivational Problems (Paperback)
This is a nice little book for an introduction or review of Calculus, using the intuitive method of infinitesimals. Dr Smither actually wrote the book for his son, who is very bright, but has not had Calculus as yet. The examples are clear and carefully worked out. They are "real world" examples to maintain student interest. About the only gripe I might have is the introduction of complex variables early on. While these are an interesting application of analysis, they might intimidate students who are not familiar with the concepts.
There are some good physics principles worked into the problems as well, which might make the book useful as a supplemental text to a basic physics course. Rob B
