Features: Calculus is the essence of rational wisdom in the history of human civilization's development. Its emergence not only completely renewed the face of mathematics but also significantly promoted the development of science and technology as a whole. Facing the new century, with the rapid development of the socio-economy, various industries in society and different majors in universities have put forward new and higher requirements for calculus. Calculus teaching reform has become even more urgent and important. Can we make calculus teaching more vivid and practical? This is a question we often ponder. To this end, we have written this textbook. In writing this book, we have paid attention to the following points:
1. Strive to start from practical situations, emphasizing the intuitive description and real-world background of concepts and theorems, overcoming students' psychological barriers in mathematical cognition, and keeping logical reasoning appropriate.
2. Make full use of advanced modern educational technology tools such as computers to make abstract concepts more concrete and simplify complex calculations. Focus on the liveliness and of knowledge, reducing overly difficult and tedious computational skills to free students from.
3. Increase practical examples, exercises, and mathematical models, emphasizing students' awareness of applying mathematics and cultivating their ability to use mathematics, thereby continuously improving their initiative and enthusiasm for learning mathematics. Calculus is an extension of the achievements of the Tianjin Municipal University Teaching Reform Project Research and Practice on the Integration of Information Technology and Economic Mathematics. This book includes both the written textbook and the electronic supplementary teaching material.
