Offers a streamlined approach to teaching calculus, focusing on major concepts and supporting those with precise definitions, patient explanations, and graded problems. This text also offers a balance of theory and conceptual work to satisfy more progressive programs as well as those who are more comfortable teaching in a more traditional fashion.
