This course serves as an introduction to calculus.
Topics include: functions, limits, derivatives, applications of derivatives,
integrals, and applications of integrals.
Historical and philosophical aspects of calculus are integrated
with the development of the mathematical ideas, providing a sense
of the context in which calculus was developed.
