The Forum's Internet Mathematics Library provides a page of links to Calculus Reform resources. A few selections from these pages are offered below. Calculus Reform is one of the most active areas of math education reform at the pre-college and college levels. An MAA committee, Calculus Reform and the First Two Years (CRAFTY), is at work on this topic. A useful collection of articles can be found in the January 1995 issue of the MAA's Undergraduate Mathematics Education Trends. Discussing the issues: calc-reform is an e-mail discussion group hosted by e-MATH of the American Mathematical Society (AMS) and archived by the Math Forum. The goal of this list is to assist in communication between friends and active developers of materials and projects aimed at reform of curriculum and pedagogy for calculus and elementary linear algebra, including differential equations.
