About The Author

Andrew M. Gleason

Andrew M. Gleason

Dr. Andrew Mattei Gleason (1921–2008) was a mathematician who made many contributions to widely varied areas of math, including the solution of Hilbert's 5th problem and was a leader in innovation and reform in math­e­mat­ics teaching at all levels. Professor Gleason's theorem in quantum logic and the Greenwood–Gleason graph, an important example in Ramsey's theory, is named after him.

As a young naval officer in World War II, Andrew broke Japanese and German military codes. After the war, he spent his entire academic career at Harvard University, from which he retired in 1992. His numerous academic and scholarly leadership posts included chairmanship of the Harvard Mathematics Department and the Harvard Society of Fellows and the presidency of the American Mathematical Society. He continued to advise the United States government on cryptographic security, and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on math­e­mat­ics education for children, almost until the end of his life.

The Calculus Consortium’s “Rule of Four” encourages students to approach problems graphically, numerically, symbolically, and verbally. This method is crucial for teaching calculus, improving critical thinking skills, and solving mathematical challenges. This approach strengthens students’ conceptual understanding, allowing them to simplify complex problems into manageable procedures while maintaining an appreciation for the practical applications of mathematics. In this edition, the authors further their commitment to providing diverse perspectives for learners, with a heightened focus on active learning within a ‘flipped’ classroom environment.

The Calculus: Single and Multivariable, 8th Edition, features a variety of problems with applications from the physical sciences, health, biology, engineering, and economics, allowing for engagement across multiple majors. The Consortium brings Calculus to (real) life with current, relevant examples and a focus on active learning.
