To-the-Instructor 1984 Calculus

This document provides a table that outlines the relationships and dependencies between chapters in a calculus textbook. It indicates which chapters provide necessary background for other chapters and which sections are optional. The table shows that early chapters introduce foundational concepts like derivatives, integrals, and limits that are built upon in later chapters. It also notes sections that provide useful techniques like curve sketching, applications of derivatives, and integration methods. Several sections are identified as optional or more relevant for certain science or business courses.

Chapter Chapter Dependence Comments

1 Section 1.8 provides extremely useful techniques


for elementary curve sketching.

Chapter 1 Derivatives are first introduced as a rate of change


in Section 2.1 with the analytic definition post­
poned until Section 2.5. Mathematically rigorous
(i.e., e - δ arguments) definitions of limits are
given in Section 2.8. This section is optional.

Chapters 1 and 2 (except After this chapter students should be able to dif­
Section 2.8) ferentiate any algebraic function as well as the
six trigonometric functions.

Chapters 1, 2, and 3 This chapter provides applications of the deriva­


(except Section 2.8) tive. Theorems relating to curve sketching
depend on the mean value theorem proved in
Section 4.2. The first and second derivative tests
are treated separately in Sections 4.3 and 4.4,
but the two sections together provide a rather
complete procedure for sketching a curve.
Section 4.8 on Newton's method makes exten­
sive use of the hand calculator.

Chapters 1-4 The introduction to the integral. Antiderivatives


are discussed in Section 5.2. The Σ notation is
discussed in Section 5.3. The two fundamental
theorems of calculus are given in Section 5.6. A
mean value theorem for integrals and a rigorous
proof of the second fundamental theorem of cal­
culus are given in the optional Section 5.10. Sec­
tion 5.9 is also optional.

of Chapter 4 properties of logarithmic and exponential func­
tions are derived. If Sections 6.2 and 6.3 are
covered, then Section 6.4 can be omitted, and
conversely. Or, all three sections can be covered
to show students how two seemingly unrelated
ideas are really two sides of the same coin. Sec­
tion 6.6 introduces the simplest differential
equations and should be covered in courses
with science majors. Section 6.7 is optional but
should be covered in courses with economics
and business majors. Section 6.8 contains an op­
tional discussion of epidemic models.

tions 7.4 and 7.5 also

Chapters 1-3, 5, 6, Section 8.6 describes the integration of rational


and 7 functions with linear and quadratic denomina­
tors. Section 8.7 extends these results and can
be omitted if time is a problem. Section 8.9 on
using the integral tables should be covered. This
is undoubtedly the most used technique for in­
tegration "in the field."

10 Chapter 1 and This chapter provides extensive descriptions of the


Appendix 1 conic sections and the techniques of translation
and rotation of axes. No calculus is needed in
the chapter.

and parts of Chapters
8, 12, and 13

15 Chapters 1 and 2 only An introduction to vectors in the plane—includes


no calculus.

16 Chapters 1-3 and 5-8, An introduction to vector functions in the plane


Section 9.2, and parts and parametric equations. Sections 16.6-16.8 are
of Chapter 11, and optional.
Chapter 15

17 Chapters 1-3, 5-8, 15 An extension of the material in Chapters 15 and


and 16, Section 9.2, 16 to three dimensions. Sections 17.6 and 17.8
and parts of Chapter are optional. Computer-drawn graphs of certain
11 and Appendix 3 quadric surfaces are given in Section 17.6.

18 Chapters 1-8, 12, and An introduction to the calculus of several vari­


15-17 ables. The gradient is introduced in Section 18.5
as -the natural extension of the ordinary deriva­
tive, and this is done in such a way as to allow
a discussion of functions of n variables (al­
though this discussion is limited to IR2 and U3).
Section 18.9 is optional but should be covered
by students of physics and engineering. Section
18.13 on Lagrange multipliers is motivated by
the geometry of the gradient. Computer-drawn
sketches of some not easily visualized surfaces
in U3 are given in Section 18.1.

19 Chapters 1-9 and parts Introduction to multiple integration with an em­


of Chapters 11, 12, phasis on applications. Sections 19.3, 19.5, and
and 15-18 19.7 are optional.

20 Chapters 1-8, 15-19, A detailed introduction to vector analysis. Sections


and Appendix 3 20.1-20.3 provide a description of vector anal­
ysis in U2, including a discussion of Green's the­
orem in the plane from both an analytic and a
geometric point of view. Section 20.5 provides
an extensive introduction to surface integrals.
Section 20.9 provides examples and a proof of
the theorem allowing for a change of variables
in multiple integration. The material in this
chapter is considerably more difficult than the
material in other parts of the text. While the
proofs of almost all theorems (including Stokes's
theorem and the divergence theorem) are given,
they can be omitted without loss of continuity.

21 Chapters 1-8 This chapter can be used as the major part of a


one-quarter introduction to ordinary differential
equations—especially as the fifth quarter or
fourth semester of a calculus sequence.
