Calculus of a Single Variable

by Thomas P. Dick, Charles M. Patton

Through a special funding initiative, the NSF has made resources available for a variety of calculus curriculum revision efforts. The Calculus Connections Project is one of those efforts, and this text is a major result of the project. With an emphasis on being technology aware, the text adopts a language appropriate for the kinds of numerical, graphical, and symbolic capabilities that are found on a wide variety of software packages and sophisticated computers.

Really solid introduction to calculus. Pretty sure this was designed for high school students as the rigor isn't there. Some of the end of chapter problems were a little tricky (I did all of them except the ones that involved repeated rote calculations like Euler's method after the first few) and I enjoyed figuring them out. They were just the right balance in number of problems, and the difficulty of the problems.
