This study guide aids students in reviewing concepts and principles of calculus, including derivatives, natural logarithms, exponential functions, integrals, and other material from a first-year calculus course. Downing (Seattle Pacific U.) uses a story about adventures in a mythical land called Carmorra to explain concepts, and includes exercises, answers, and a practice test. Material is designed to follow high school courses in algebra, trigonometry, and geometry. It assumes knowledge of basic algebra terminology and methods and experiences in factoring second-degree polynomials, concepts of analytic geometry, and functional notation.
