Material Detail

'This text is Part I of a three–text series on Calculus. This first part covers material taught in many “Calc 1” courses: limits, derivatives, and the basics of integration. The second text covers material often taught in “Calc 2:” integration and its applications, along with an introduction to sequences, series and Taylor Polynomials. The third text covers topics common in “Calc 3” or “multi-variable calc:” parametric equations, polar coordinates, vector–valued functions, and functions of more than one variable. All three are available for free at www.vmi.edu/APEX. These three texts are intended to work together and make one cohesive text, APEX Calculus, which can also be downloaded from the website.'

'A result of this spliƫng is that sometimes a concept is said to be explored in a “later section,” though that section does not actually appear in this particular text. Downloading the .pdf of APEX Calculus will ensure that you have all the content. This spliƫing of the material also results in unfortunate page/chapter numberings. Chapter 5 of this text is Chapter 1 of Calculus II. Apart from these numberings, page–for–page the content of the sections that appear in both Calculus I and Calculus II are idenƟcal.'
