Calculus: Single Variable
Calculus is one of the greatest achievements of the human intellect. Inspired by problems in astronomy,
Newton and Leibniz developed the ideas of calculus 300 years ago. Since then, each century has demonstrated
the power of calculus to illuminate questions in mathematics, the physical sciences, engineering, and the
social and biological sciences.
Calculus has been so successful because of its extraordinary power to reduce complicated problems to
simple rules and procedures. Therein lies the danger in teaching calculus: it is possible to teach the subject
as nothing but the rules and procedures—thereby losing sight of both the mathematics and of its practical
value. This edition of Calculus continues our effort to promote courses in which understanding reinforces
computation.
