It exposes students to the intuition that originally led to the calculus, simplifying their grasp of the central concepts of derivatives and integrals.

This is a calculus textbook at the college Freshman level based on Abraham Robinson's infinitesimals, which date from 1960. This first-year calculus book is centered around the use of infinitesimals, an approach largely neglected until recently for reasons of mathematical rigor.
