  • Added solution drop-downs for select exercises
  • Imported embedded videos and applets from the original source
  • Added content for introductions, additional examples per introduction, and chapter review exercises
  • Added “Review Problems” and “Brief Answers to Selected Review Problems”
  • Added learning objectives for each section – some from OpenStax Calculus and some written from scratch
  • Added a list of vocabulary at the end of each section – some from OpenStax Calculus and some written from scratch
  • Enabled glossary term functionality
  • Consistently colored textboxes throughout
  • Added Heading 1 to main parts of the table of contents

Chapter-Specific Changes

Chapter 2: Limits and the Derivative

  • “Chapter 2: The Derivative” was split into “Chapter 2: Limits and the Derivative” and “Chapter 3: Applications of the Derivative”

Chapter 3: Applications of the Derivative

  • “Introduction to Applications of the Derivative” is not the original introduction from Calculus, Volume 1 (OpenStax) – part of it is from Introduction; part from 4.7 – Applied Optimization Problems
  • “Elasticity of Demand” added tangent line approximation content
    • Section changed to “Section 3.5: Other Applications”

Chapter 4: The Integral

  • “Chapter 3: The Integral” was made chapter 4
  • “Additional Integration Techniques” was fully removed
  • “Area, Volume, and Average Value” removed area and volume content; kept average value and added the net change theorem
    • Section changed to “Section 4.5: Average Value and the Net Change Theorem”

Back Matter

  • “Review of Pre-Calculus” page from Calculus, Volume 1 (OpenStax) changed to “Formulas of Algebra and Geometry.” Removed Trigonometry formulas.
  • “Table of Derivatives and Integrals” was created by merging pages from Calculus, Volume 1 (OpenStax). Removed derivatives and integrals with Trigonometry.
