This author team has extensive calculus teaching experience. Both are award winning teachers, and Krantz is the author of over 120 papers and 45 books, as well as the winner of the Mathematical Association of America's Chauvenet Prize for mathematical exposition, among other awards and prizes. Calculus was refined over 10 years of writing, extensive reviewing, class piloting, and editorial development. The authors bring both time-tested and innovative pedagogy and prose to the book.
The result is a literate, clear, rigorous, technology-integrative approach to the Calculus for beginning students and readers.
