Material Detail

This is a free, online textbook.  According to the author, "The typical university calculus sequence, which serves majors in the physical sciences and engineering as well as mathematics, emphasizes calculational technique. In upper level mathematics courses, however, students are expected to operate at a more conceptual level, in particular to produce "proofs" of mathematical statements. To help students make the transition to more advanced mathematics courses, many university mathematics programs include a "bridge course". Many texts have been written for such a course. I have taught from a couple of them, and have looked at numerous others. These various texts represent different ideas for what a bridge course should emphasize. Not having found a text that was a good fit with my own ideas, I decided to try to write one of my own."
