This book is designed to allow a student to visualize the graphs of functions, piecewise continuous or not, and to explore limits, continuity, and derivability. This book can be used to

Graph a function and determine a table of values of the function at a pre-assigned interval.
Obtain limit graphically and numerically.
Graph derivative function along with the graph of the function, and test the derivability of the function at a point.
Find the derivative algebraically.

This book is appropriate for a first course in calculus, and may be used for
