Calculus: Mathematics and Modeling
The mathematical study of change pioneered by Newton and Leibniz was free of the
artificial separation of topics found in today's curriculum. In the 300 years
following their work, the explosion of ideas and techniques which they inspired
has resulted in an enormous body of mathematical knowledge. The sheer volume of
this knowledge has resulted in a separation of originally unified concepts into
distinct topics studied in a variety of courses such as Discrete Dynamical
Modeling, Calculus, and Differential Equations. As a result of this separation,
many students of mathematics never obtain a global understanding of the material
necessary for creative and effective application in new situations. We propose a
text which reunites these concepts and tools into a single study.
