Remarks on calculus sequences
  • As grad student and postdoc my calculus classes happened to be using Stewart's textbook "Early Transcendentals" and followed a Calculus 1/2/3 system.
  • As assistant professor my calculus classes used Stewart's textbook "Early Vectors" (with the exception of Calculus 1 in Fall 2009) and followed a Calculus 1/2/3/4 system.
  • As associate professor I taught each of Calculus 1,2,3,4 once, always using Thomas' textbook "University Calculus -- Alternate Edition", and using a Calculus 1/2/3/4 system.
  • As Professor I have taught Accelerated Calculus I, II, and III as well as Calculus 2 and 4.
  • As of Spring 2019 I am back to teaching calculus from Stewart, this time the 8th edition.
