Why Calculus Lite?

I teach calculus at different levels at UMass Lowell. Besides the standard science and engineering calculus, I'm involved in a program called Focus on Math in which I happen to be teaching a calculus overview for grade 5-12 teachers. Also, I teach a Mathematica course and do a lot of calculus review to illustrate the software.

I've been meaning to try a blog for a while. I don't know where this will go, but it's started!
