Textbook：Calculus 8th Edition (Anton, Bivens, Davis)

As every school has promoted the trend of the internationalization in recent years, this school begins to recruit excellent students in foreign countries. Then, we can reach academic exchange and promote this school international status and image. However, the contents of basic mathematics of foreign students’ education are obviously different from ours. Moreover, since it is all to adopt Chinese teaching to original students, this will influence the study of foreign students. Therefore, we offer a special class of calculus to foreign students from this semester. Use English teaching and a lot of practice to improve learning efficiency of calculus.
