Title of Talk | Ideas and Examples for Calculus |
Abstract | We give some non traditional problems from various sources that help with the understanding of the ideas of calculus. We show how the concept of continuity can be used to get a better grasp of a situation and to correct bad judgement. The goal is not to show nice calculations, but to show ways of thinking. |
