Honors Calculus

Charles R. MacCluer is Professor of Mathematics and director of the industrial mathematics program at Michigan State University. His first interest was algebraic number theory but later turned to the more practical disciplines of control theory, signal processing, building science, and industrial problems. He is the author of "Industrial Mathematics, Boundary Value Problems and Fourier Expansions", and "Calculus of Variations".

"MacCluer's book ... is calculus 'done right.' And in a mere 162 pages and 1.1 lb! ... The approach is axiomatic, but the writing style is breezy and inviting. The student will see right away that this is not simply a rehash of material seen in high school--there are some genuinely new ideas here. These include topology, compactness, quantum mechanics, differential equations, and a host of other fascinating topics... This could be an exciting book from which to teach. This is a book that will allow the instructor to build a fascinating course in a variety of different ways. Teaching from this book should be a joy for all."--Steven G. Krantz, UMAP Journal
