Abstract

The authors have developed teaching materials on calculus including multivariable functions for first-course undergraduate students in the science and engineering fields. The materials differ from commonplace textbooks in that they first introduce the topics encountered in engineering and then explain the mathematical aspects. This style aims to help readers understand mathematical concepts smoothly by identifying their interests and offering topics that appeal to intuition.
