Workshop Calculus: Guided Exploration with Review, Volume 2

These titles are part of Springer-Verlags Textbooks in Mathematical Sciences series. Designed to capture the spirit of innovation that is transforming the teaching of mathematics, these texts bring new ideas, new pedagogical approaches, and relevant aspects of emerging technologies to courses throughout the undergraduate curriculum. Workshop Mathematics Project The workshop approach does not rely on formal lectures. Instead, new ideas and concepts are introduced in an informal and intuitive way, without conventional definitions or examples. Working collaboratively, students explore and discover mathematical ideas and find ways to approach and solve problems. The program emphasizes the use of real-world applications and genuine data, which enhances motivation and enables students to use mathematics in other disciplines. The materials make use of a variety of software packages, enabling students to construct mathematical ideas on their own and providing them with transferable skills.
