Calculus Summary

Calculus: Concepts and Contexts: Combined Single and Multivariable by James Stewart

This text embodies the broad principles of calculus reform-conceptual understanding motivated by real-world applications and the application of the Rule of Four in numerical, visual, algebraic, and verbal interpretations. At the same time, this book retains traditional calculus. The author emphasizes visualization and problem solving.
