Technology has become an indispensable aspect of most mathematics
education. This is a BLACK-AND-WHITE edition of our full-color textbook;
it contains the same abundance of graphics, algorithms, and assignments
to introduce Sage, a free, open-source computer algebra system, and to
reinforce important mathematical ideas of undergraduate mathematics,
including some that a transitioning student will not yet have seen. This
book should be useful for any situation where an individual is moving
from "high school" mathematics, in which we include basic calculus, to
"university" mathematics, which includes intermediate calculus and a lot
of stuff besides, and is willing to experiment with a computer. You miss
out on the color, but it costs less.
