<p>Al Shenk's Calculus combines innovative constructivist pedagogy with sound mathematical content to provide a real option for instructors seeking an effective balance between reform techniques and traditional content. A comprehensive table of contents, plenty of examples, and a wide range of exercises make sure students consider, practice, and then expand essential concepts and skills. The author provides constant checks along the way to monitor the student's progress. Questions follow each concept in the exposition to make sure the student is prepared to proceed. Tune-Up Exercises precede the end-of-chapter exercises to ensure the student's basic understanding of the material before tackling the challenging conceptual problems in the exercise sets. This regimen promotes skill maintenance that will help the student understand all of the concepts, forming a firm structure for mastery of the course. *"Questions" woven into the exposition of concepts involve students in constructing their own understanding of the material. Students answer the Questions as they read and study the material to develop their own understanding *"Tune-Up" Exercises immediately before the problem sets highlight the most fundamental skills students will need to complete both the skill-building exercises and the thought-provoking conceptual exercises in the problem sets *In both the exposition and in the exercises, Shenk has achieved an excellent balance among analytical, numerical, graphical, and verbal presentations *The text assumes the use of graphing technology</p>
