A set of brief points of calculus where almost all could be put directly into the classroom
By Charles Ashbacher HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on November 3, 2008
This book contains a set of papers on calculus that were published in either "The American Mathematical Monthly" or "Mathematics Magazine." Starting from an initial set of 705 papers, an editorial committee of five people read through them and selected what they considered the most appropriate 160. The goal was to include papers covering a broad spectrum of ideas rather than what would be considered the best if breadth was not a goal.
The editorial board certainly succeeded in selecting a representative set of topics and the papers are partitioned into twelve broad categories:

*) History
*) Pedagogy
*) Functions
*) Continuity, epsilon and delta, discontinuities
*) Differentiation
*) Mean value theorem for derivatives, indeterminate forms
*) Polynomials and polynomial approximations
*) Maxima and minima
*) Integration
*) Numerical, graphical and mechanical methods and approximations
*) Infinite series and sequences
*) Special numbers

The majority of the papers are less than four pages, so this is a book that can easily be read in snippets and by far, most of the papers were published after 1940. Nearly all of them contain what could be considered a "classroom tidbit" meaning a brief point that could be directly applied to a classroom demonstration or assigned problem.
