The first edition was intended to be a synthesis of reform and traditional approaches to calculus instruction。In this second edition I continue to follow that path by empha- sizing conceptual understanding through visual, numerical, and algebraic approaches。The principal way in which this book differs from my more traditional calculus textbooks is that it is more streamlined。 For instance, there is no complete chapter on techniques of integration；I don＇t prove as many theorems （see the discussio
