Still others address college preparatory topics with later chapters reviewing concepts discussed in undergraduate college classes. This book, written as an adventure novel in the fantasy land of Carmorra, uses conversational dialogue to discuss the underlying concepts of calculus. This book includes material suitable for a first-year calculus course. Many of the results are presented as demonstrations rather than formal proofs. The exercises illustrate applications of calculus, such as finding the motion of a planet around the sun.
Some exercises provide practice with routine techniques, while other exercises are challenging.
The basic concepts of algebra, analytic geometry, and functions are prerequisites for this book. Answers to most problems are provided at the back of each book.
