Synopses & Reviews
Based on the use of graphing calculators by students enrolled in calculus, there is enough material here to cover precalculus review, as well as first-year single variable calculus topics. Intended for use in workshop-centered calculus courses, and developed as part of the well-known NSF-sponsored project, the text is for use with students in a math laboratory, instead of a traditional lecture course. There are student-oriented activities, experiments and graphing calculator exercises throughout the text. The authors themselves are well-known teachers and constantly striving to improve undergraduate mathematics teaching.
Synopsis
The books in the Workshop Mathematics series have been recognized for their excellent and imaginative pedagogy. These new graphing calculator editions of Workshop Calculus: Guided Exploration with Review take the successful workshop calculus approach one step further by introducing calculus students to the graphing calculator, using the same method of exploration and review as was presented in the original two volumes.
