The Learning and Teaching of Calculus
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-06972-2 (ISBN)
Written by a group of international authors with extensive experience in teaching and research on learning/teaching calculus both at the school and university levels, the book offers a variety of approaches to the teaching of calculus so that you can decide the approach for you. Topics covered include
A history of calculus and how calculus differs over countries today
Making sense of limits and continuity, differentiation, integration and the fundamental theorem of calculus (chapters on these areas form the bulk of the book)
The ordering of calculus concepts (should limits come first?)
Applications of calculus (including differential equations)
The final chapter looks beyond elementary calculus. Recurring themes across chapters include whether to take a limit or a differential/infinitesimal approach to calculus and the use of digital technology in the learning and teaching of calculus. This book is essential reading for mathematics teacher trainers everywhere.
John Monaghan is a professor at the University of Agder, Norway and an emeritus professor at the University of Leeds, UK. He has taught in schools and universities, and the learning and teaching of calculus has been a research interest throughout his career. Robert Ely is a professor of mathematics education at the University of Idaho, United States. He studies the reasoning of students with infinitesimals, integrals, variables, and argumentation, and he is particularly interested in the perspectives that history can bring to such reasoning. Márcia M.F. Pinto is Associate Professor at a public university in Brazil. She has experience teaching mathematics to prospective teachers, mathematicians and engineers and co-authoring textbooks for distance learning courses on calculus. Mike Thomas is Professor Emeritus in the Mathematics Department at Auckland University, New Zealand. His research explores advanced mathematical thinking at school and university, including the role of representations, versatility and digital technology.
