Extract

This article does not advocate dispensing with the calculus in the least; it suggests ways in which some of the traditional problems of calculus may be studied by other methods much earlier in the school. This makes a range of very interesting problems available to a much wider audience, and also shows how some of the problems of the sixth form science course can be treated with pupils who have the misfortune to be studying science without the calculus to help them.
