The way in which students in science and engineering learn calculus is undergoing a change by use of inexpensive computers and powerful packages for symbolic manipulation, numerical approximation, and graphical representation. The present book is the first volume of a text on standard calculus by using Maple. It is written mainly for students in science and engineering. This book covers the standard topics of calculus I, namely real and complex numbers, sequence and series, power series, continuous and differentiable functions of one real variable, Taylor's formula. Throughout the entire book, Maple is used as a powerful tool for learning calculus in a new way. A student can use this book to learn both calculus and Maple. No previous knowledge of Maple is required. An enclosed CD-ROM contains the Maple solution of many worked examples and a demo-version of Maple V Release 4 which can be used as a browser. For the second volume see the review Zbl 0910.00005 below.
