Caculus

JAMES STEWART

The art of teaching, Mark Van Doren said, is the art of assisting discovery. I have tried to write a book that assists students in discovering calculus - both for its practical power and its surprising beauty. In this edition, as in the first four editions, I aim to convey to the student a sense of the utility of calculus and develop technical competence, but also strive to give some appreciation for the intrinsic beauty of the subject. Newton undoubtedly experienced a sense of triumph when he made his great discoveries. I want the students to share some of that excitement. The emphasis is on understanding concepts, I think that nearly everybody agrees that this should be the primary goal of calculus construction. In fact, the impetus for the current calculus reform movement cane from the Tulane Conference in 1986, which formulated as their first recommendation: Focus on conceptual understanding. (The Author).The CD-ROM included with the book contains TEC (Tools for Enriching Calculus).
