The student of calculus is entitled to ask what calculus is and what it can be used for. This short book provides an answer. The author starts by demonstrating that calculus provides a mathematical tool for the quantitative analysis of a wide range of dynamical phenomena and systems with variable quantities. The text then looks at the origins and intuitive sources of calculus, its fundamental methodology, and its general framework and basic structure, before examining a few typical applications. The author's style is direct and pedagogical. The new student should find that the book provides a clear and strong grounding in this important technique

Fundamentals of General Topology: Problems and Exercises
`This problem set is carefully designed; if the student goes through all the problems in the book then at the end he is familiar with almost all basic notions in general topology. In addition to this, he knows more what mathematics is about than can be expected of a student taking an ordinary course in general topology. This book is well written and will be of lasting importance to both teachers and students in general topology.' Zentralblatt für Mathematik, 568 (1986)
Aim High is a five-level course that develops language learning through carefully chosen vocabulary, texts which are interesting, and essential study skills. The iTools digital material adds variety to class teaching and the Student CD-ROM is great for home study. Revision and self assessment sections help learners towards exam success and there is extensive testing material too.
Focus: Elevating the Essentials to Radically Improve Student Learning
Bestselling author Mike Schmoker describes a plan for radically improving student learning that is built on three core elements: a focused and coherent curriculum (what we teach); clear, prioritized lessons (how we teach); and purposeful reading and writing, or authentic literacy. With this "less is more" philosophy, educators can help students learn content at a deeper level, develop greater critical thinking skills, and discover more clearly how content-area concepts affect their lives and the world around them.
