This is a new type of calculus book: Students who master this text
will be well versed in calculus and, in addition, possess a useful
working knowledge of one of the most important mathematical
software systems, namely, MACSYMA. This will equip them with the
mathematical competence they need for science and engi neering and
the competitive workplace. The choice of MACSYMA is not essential
for the didactic goal of the book. In fact, any of the other major
mathematical software systems, e. g., AXIOM, MATHEMATICA, MAPLE,
DERIVE, or REDUCE, could have been taken for the examples and for
acquiring the skill in using these systems for doing mathematics on
computers. The symbolic and numerical calcu lations described in
this book will be easily performed in any of these systems by
slight modification of the syntax as soon as the student
understands and masters the MACSYMA examples in this book. What is
important, however, is that the student gets all the information
necessary to design and execute the calculations in at least one
concrete implementation language as this is done in this book and
also that the use of the mathematical software system is completely
integrated with the text. In these times of globalization, firms
which are unable to hire adequately trained technology experts will
not prosper. For corporations which depend heavily on sci ence and
engineering, remaining competitive in the global economy will
require hiring employees having had a traditionally rigorous
mathematical education."
