The Modules consist of topic modules linked with case study modules, to help learn calculus and see it in context. There are also links to computer algebra files and movies to give you a place to play with the math. Some of the examples and exercises are drawn from our printed Calculus Books , so you can use the Modules in conjunction with a printed text. Others are written by our authors , or contributed from the community at large. Topics modules contain learning sections, where concepts are introduced, stretch your understanding sections, which are more extensive problems in a topic, and discovery exercises, which are extended projects and labs.
Case studies are areas of investigation which draw on skills across the calculus curriculum.
The idea is that a student should be able to navigate from the problems which use calculus to sections which introduce the appropriate concepts and back again, in whatever order she or the instructor desires. Navigating the Modules To get an idea how the modules are organized, see the map . To see everything that's available , look at the full blown directory . At the bottom of any file, there will be a text index showing you where you are in the structure. If you get lost, just scroll down to the bottom.
