Summary: A great deal has been said in recent years about the widening gap between calculus and advanced calculus. This gap might more appropriately be said to exist between mechanical and intui-tional and rigorous mathematics. Regardless of terminology, the fact remains that many students who continue in mathematics beyond the calculus sequence find it a shocking experience, and are frustrated by the sudden shift in emphasis from the mechanical to the theoretical, from the concrete to the abstract.
