Notes
- Abstract:
- This text is designed for college students who aspire to take calculus and who either need to take a course to prepare them for calculus or want to do some additional self-study. Most of the core topics of the course will be familiar to students who have completed high school.At the same time, we seek to take a perspective on every topic that emphasizes how it is important in calculus. This text is also written in the spirit of Active Calculus and is especially ideal for students who will eventually study calculus from that text. The reader will find that the text requires them to engage actively with the material, to view ideas from multiple perspectives, and to develop deep conceptual understanding of ideas.Many courses at the high school and college level with titles such as “college algebra”, “pre-calculus”, and “trigonometry” serve other disciplines and courses other than calculus. As such, these prerequisite classes frequently contain wide-ranging material that, while math-ematically interesting and important, isn’t necessary for calculus. Perhaps because of these additional topics, certain ideas that are essential in calculus are under-emphasized or ignored. In Active Preparation for Calculus, one of our top goals is to keep the focus narrow on the following most important ideas.
