Book DetailsClassroom Resource MaterialsVolume: 36; 2010; 307 pp
This volume contains student and instructor material for the delivery of a two-semester calculus sequence at the undergraduate level. It can be used in conjunction with any textbook. It was written with the view that students who are actively involved inside and outside the classroom are more likely to succeed, develop deeper conceptual understanding, and retain knowledge than students who are passive recipients of information.
Calculus: An Active Approach with Projects contains two main student sections. The first contains activities usually done in class, individually or in groups. Many of the activities allow students to participate in the development of central calculus ideas. The second section contains longer projects where students work in groups outside the classroom. These projects may involve material already presented, motivate concepts, or introduce supplementary topics. Instructor materials contained in the volume include comments and notes on each project and activity, guidelines on their implementation, and a sample curriculum which incorporates a collection of activities and projects.
