![]() I didn't find any instances of culturally insensitive or offensive text. ![]() I did have trouble with some media links but I'm attributing that to the work computers and blocking access to some sites. I was curious why delta x(sub i) was not included in the definition of a Riemann sum but this was later explained in 5.2. Yes, the text is nicely broken into manageable sections that could be rearranged if necessary. The limit rule for sinx/x as x approaches 0 is explained in 2.3, but I would like this to have it's Theorem or Rule box. ![]() This would include many of the functions mentioned in chapter 1 (they could be included in the Precalculus review), the existence of a limit, the compound formula and continuous compound formula. There were some bold terms that I would have like to see get a boxed definition. It was formal when necessary but otherwise friendly or not stuffy. I thought the writing was very accessible. Many chapter openers and student projects involve situations that would interest students. I appreciate the informal proofs about limits at infinity along with the formal proofs. It provides greater accuracy but uncertainty about if it's an upper or lower sum. I would also say that about the midpoint rule for finding area under a curve, not necessary but gives the alternative to an upper sum and lower sum. This isn't required but is nice to get exposure to in Calculus 1. ![]() The text covers all topics I was expecting except for a discussion about normal lines.
