| Abstract | There has been much recent discussion concerning the content of the standard calculus course for students majoring in mathematics and the sciences. Some of this discussion has focused on the available textbooks. One weakness noted in some of these books involves the definitions of limit and continuity for functions of several variables. A surprising number of the textbooks include exercises or examples which are incorrectly handled within the context of the definitions given. These subjects are surveyed in both current and past textbooks and presented in graphical and tabular form. Some alternatives are suggested. [Appended is a nine-page "Calculus Textbook Data Table" and 229 references.] (Author/PK) |
