"Calculus students should be expected to work on problems that require imagination, outside reading and consultation, cooperation, and coherent writing. They should work on open-ended problems that admit several different approaches and call upon students to defend both their methodology and their conclusion. Here is a source of 30 such projects."--Page ix.
