Synopsis

This book makes accessible to calculus students in high school, college and university a range of counter-examples to conjectures that many students erroneously make. In addition, it urges readers to construct their own examples by tinkering with the ones shown here in order to enrich the example spaces to which they have access, and to deepen their appreciation of conspectus and conditions applying to theorems.

Revue de presse

I would encourage calculus teachers/lecturers to read this book. It has to generate ideas that will improve our teaching of the subject. --Derek Holton, Emeritus Professor, University of Otago, Honorary Professor, University of Melbourne

This booklet is useful not only for the teachers but for the students as well. It is quite elementary, and the discussion of the counter-examples can be easily understood by students. --Zentralblatt MATH
