{"product_id":"9781032069739","title":"The Learning and Teaching of Calculus: Ideas, Insights and Activities","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book is for people who teach calculus - and especially for people who teach student teachers, who will in turn teach calculus. The calculus considered is elementary calculus of a single variable. The book interweaves ideas for teaching with calculus content and provides a reader-friendly overview of research on learning and teaching calculus along with questions on educational and mathematical discussion topics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten by a group of international authors with extensive experience in teaching and research on learning\/teaching calculus both at the school and university levels, the book offers a variety of approaches to the teaching of calculus so that you can decide the approach for you.
