Calculus Set Free

Calculus Set Free is a well-written and self-contained text which offers a novel and mathematically rigorous approach to the topics typically present in Calculus 1 and 2. The text is largely successful in what it sets out to accomplish, and teachers interested in offering an introduction to Calculus built on an alternative theoretical approach should consider this text.
