Summary and overview
Calculus has remained for a long time an essential foundation for further work in mathematics, the sciences, engineering, business and economics, and many other areas. New technologies, new teaching methods, and new educational research have led in recent years to new approaches to content and pedagogy of calculus courses, and sometimes to controversy. Participants were invited to share ideas, experiences, and opinions, from a rich variety of mathematical, educational, national, and cultural perspectives. Sessions included brief talks and presentations, a panel discussion, and some free and active discussion of key ideas and issues raised by speakers and presenters. (These elements are summarized below.) Ms. Mikiko SASAGO provided useful translations between Japanese and English.
