Counterexamples in Calculus serves as a supplementary resource to enhance the learning experience in single variable calculus courses. This book features carefully constructed incorrect mathematical statements that require students to create counterexamples to disprove them. Methods of producing these incorrect statements vary. At times the converse of a well-known theorem is presented. In other instances crucial conditions are omitted or altered or incorrect definitions are employed. Incorrect statements are grouped topically with sections devoted to: functions, limits, continuity, differential calculus and integral calculus. This book aims to fill a gap in the literature and provide a resource for using counterexamples ... Read more

Reviews for Counterexamples in Calculus (Classroom Resource Materials)
This brief work is exactly as described, a collection of counterexamples from calculus. The book is organized into two parts. The first part is a list of 90 short statements grouped into five categories: ""Functions,"" ""Limits,"" ""Continuity,"" ""Differential Calculus,"" and ""Integral Calculus."" The second part is longer and includes counterexamples to each of the statements and well-known calculus theorems... Klymchuk ... Read more
