Simplifying and Refactoring Introductory Calculus

History and Overview 2018-12-14 v1

Abstract

First year calculus is often taught in a way that is very burdensome to the student. Students have to memorize a diversity of processes for essentially performing the same task. However, many calculus processes can be simplified and streamlined so that fewer concepts can provide more flexibility and capability for first-year students.
