Throughout the text, notes in the margins include comments meant to supplement understanding, sometimes including line-by-line commentary for worked examples. The answers to odd-numbered exercises in the back of the book include both simplified and non-simplified answers, hints, or alternative answers. While some exercises require the use of technology to work through, none are dependent on any specific software. The exercises include a wide range of difficulty levels, stretching from very simple rapid response questions to the occasional exercise meant to test knowledge. This text features a student-friendly exposition with ample marginal notes, examples, illustrations, and more. The procedures used throughout make many of the calculations simpler and the concepts clearer for undergraduate students, heightening success and easing a significant burden of entry into STEM disciplines. Calculus Set Free: Infinitesimals to the Rescue is a single-variable calculus textbook that incorporates the use of infinitesimal methods.
