This book investigates the integration of Mathematica software into the undergraduate calculus curriculum to modernize mathematical instruction. Author Donald P. Brown presents a pedagogical framework that shifts the focus from manual calculation to computational literacy. By utilizing Mathematica notebooks, the text provides a structured environment for students to engage with calculus concepts through active, computer-aided exploration rather than traditional rote methods.

Educators and academic reviewers often cite this work as a pioneering effort in the digital transformation of mathematics education. The text is recognized for its practical utility in classroom settings where Mathematica is the primary computational tool.
