It emphasizes problem solving, reasoning, mathematical communication, and mathematical connections. More than 350 examples go beyond typical textbook examples to emphasize applications, problem-solving strategies, and reasoning. This text adheres to recently suggested math guidelines, with an emphasis on mathematical literacy, critical thinking, group/collaborative learning activities, applications, and technology.

[18] With the help of the National Science Foundation (NSF-DUE 0442365), the Department of Mathematics at the University of Puerto Rico in Mayaguez has developed a set of manipulatives to help students of science and engineering visualize concepts relating to points, surfaces, curves, contours, and vectors in three dimensions. This article will present the manipulatives that have been developed, will describe how they have been used in multivariable calculus classrooms and will provide the results of initial studies on their effectiveness.
