CALCULUS
The Analysis of Functions
Peter D. Taylor

From the foreword by Andrew M. Gleason, Hollis Professor of Mathematicks and Natural Philosophy, Harvard University:

"Peter Taylor…has designed a calculus course that emphasizes the concepts of calculus far more than the symbolic manipulations. Instructors who want to adopt an interactive teaching style will find this book with its marvelous collection of problems extremely helpful, and their students will learn to think more about the concepts of calculus."

He graduated from Queen's in 1964, and received his Ph.D. in mathematics at Harvard University in 1969, His research interests centre around genetic models of animal behaviour, particularly questions of the allocation of resources between male and female offspring, the dispersal patterns of offspring, and the evolutionary advantages fof altruistic behaviour.

He has chaired the Education Committee of the Canadian mathematics Society and has served as Governor for Canada of the Mathematical Association of America. He has taught at the high school level and has been running enrichment sessions for high school students and teachers at Queen's University for over 20 years.
