First, let us answer a few questions: (Click on the question to see the answer): 

• What is "Calculus: A Modern Approach"
• What motivated us to write yet another calculus book?
• Why do we use the term "Modern Approach"?
• How does our textbook differ from other textbooks?
• What are the features of the book?  (Click here for the table of contents of the book)

Before we wrote the book, we researched how students learn mathematics, what is wrong with current calculus textbooks, and how best to present calculus as the foundation of modern mathematics and science.  The documents below describe that research.

The multivariable chapters also differ greatly from traditional and reformed multivariable texts.  Indeed, the multivariable chapters for this textbook form an online textbook which can be accessed at http://math.etsu.edu/Multicalc (currently under construction).
