Honors Calculus by Charles R Maccluer
Featuring a challenging exposition of calculus in the European style, this text is suitable for a first-year university honors course or for a third-year analysis course. It uses applications of derivatives and integrals to show how calculus is applied in these disciplines. It also offers both routine and demanding exercises.
"MacCluer's book.. is calculus 'done right.' And in a mere 162 pages and 1.1 lb! ... The approach is axiomatic, but the writing style is breezy and inviting. The student will see right away that this is not simply a rehash of material seen in high school--there are some genuinely new ideas here. These include topology, compactness, quantum mechanics, differential equations, and a host of other fascinating topics... This could be an exciting book from which to teach. This is a book that will allow the instructor to build a fascinating course in a variety of different ways. Teaching from this book should be a joy for all."--Steven G. Krantz, UMAP Journal
