General calculus handouts -- Martin Pergler
This provides various calculus-related teaching material that might be
of interest to others than the victims I inflict it on in class. Some of
it needs revising, some of it has been revised. Feel free to browse, but
do not use in class or handout to others without seeking my permission.
