A Fable: Maluva and Alissi. The Story of Two Newcomers to the Town of Calculus.

• A kind of calculus that this course is not about. Don't be fooled by imitations. Accept only the genuine article.

• Some calculus-related animations and Java applets

  • Average rates of change, secant lines, and tangent lines.

    • Animations of the limit of secants approaching the tangent line for a "nice" function, at a point where there is no tangent, and at a point where the tangent line is vertical.

  • A bouncing ball, together with its height and velocity as a function of time.
