Yes, this is another Calculus book. However, it fits in a niche
between the two predominant types of such texts. It could be used
as a textbook, albeit a streamlined one - it contains exposition on
each topic, with an introduction, rationale, train of thought, and
solved examples with accompanying suggested exercises. It could be
used as a solution guide - because it contains full written
solutions to each of the hundreds of exercises posed inside. But
its best position is right in between these two extremes. It is
best used as a companion to a traditional text or as a refresher -
with its conversational tone, its 'get right to it' content
structure, and its inclusion of complete solutions to many
problems, it is a friendly partner for students who are learning
Calculus, either in class or via self-study.Exercises are
structured in three sets to force multiple encounters with each
topic. Solved examples in the text are accompanied by 'You Try It'
problems, which are similar to the solved examples; the students
use these to see if they're ready to move forward. Then at the end
of the section, there are 'Practice Problems': more problems
similar to the 'You Try It' problems, but given all at once.
Finally, each section has Challenge Problems - these lean to being
equally or a bit more difficult than the others, and they allow
students to check on what they've mastered.The goal is to keep the
students engaged with the text, and so the writing style is very
informal, with attempts at humor along the way. The target audience
is STEM students including those in engineering and meteorology
programs.
