I would like to highlight this 1-star review of Calculus for Everyone on Amazon.

Kat is not wrong. Here is a quote from Mitch Stokes: 

All curriculum at Roman Roads Press is unapologetically Christian. It is not something added on to our courses, but presupposed and foundational. The very first point of our Statement of Faith puts it this way:

Harvard University stated it so well in 1646, that I will repeat this favorite quote from their “Rules and Precepts”:

Let every Student be plainly instructed, and earnestly pressed to consider well, the maine end of his life and studies is, to know God and Jesus Christ which is eternal life (John 17:3) and therefore to lay Christ in the bottome, as the only foundation of all sound knowledge and Learning. And seeing the Lord only giveth wisedome, Let every one seriously set himself by prayer in secret to seeke it of him (Prov. 2:3).

Harvard has abandoned this as the goal of education, and our mission at Roman Roads Press is to recover that discarded heritage. 

Calculus for Everyone

Calculus for Everyone teaches Calculus. But it also represents one of the first tangible steps in recent years towards reunifying STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) with the liberal arts. The goal is to produce a generation of classically educated students who understand the history of math, and will be better equipped to solve problems like our current crisis in Physics.

Is it really for Everyone?

Yes! We believe every high school student would greatly benefit from Calculus,taught classically. The only prerequisite is Algebra 1. 

Most Calculus textbooks teach too many concepts, too fast, and in the wrong order. Calculus for Everyone is different. It is accessible and beneficial to the student how might otherwise not take Calculus in high school, and the ideal foundation for the science and engineering student who will go on to take more advanced Calculus and mathematics.

The most common response from math majors and advanced students is this:“I wish I had a course like Calculus for Everyone before I took advanced mathematics!”

Sandra Schinetsky from Regents School of Austin explains why Calculus for Everyone is truly for everyone.
