Maplets for Calculus v1.1 was released in November 2005 with 40 Maplets in the collection. Now, just over two years later, there are 94 Maplets in Maplets for Calculus v1.2 divided into the following 8 categories: Category v1.1 v1.2 Pre-Calculus 2 22 Limits 4 8 Derivatives 12 24 Integrals 15 28 Differential Equations 2 4 Sequences and Series 3 4 Curvilinear Coordinates 2 2 Games 0 2 Total 40 94 The original 40 Maplets have all been extensively rewritten so that all 94 Maplets provide users with a consistent appearance and functionality. The most notable new Maplets are: Precise Definition of Limits which guides the students through the epsilon-delta proof for the limit of a linear function. Derivatives of Inverse Functions which helps students visualize the inverse function and its tangent line. From Position to Velocity and Acceleration which gives a position function and asks for the velocity and acceleration. From Acceleration to Velocity and Position which reverses the process. Area as an Antiderivative which builds student intuition about the derivation of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Trig Integrals and Partial Fractions: Evaluating the Integral which complete the set of Maplets on integration techniques. Left and Right Riemann Sums along with Trapezoid and Simpson's Rules which give practice on approximating integrals. Work: Pumping a Liquid, Fluid Force and Mixing Problems which give practice on the more complicated applications of integration and differential equations. In addition, there have been significant improvements to all the summary drills on: Derivatives Anti-derivatives Indefinite Integrals Definite Integrals Sequences Series Students should regard the Maplets for Calculus as an on-line Study Guide with an endless collection of problems with helpful hints and solutions for every problem.
