In recent years, more and more Chinese students are going overseas, either as exchange students, or to pursue degrees. At the same time, more and more students are coming from other countries to Chinese universities to further their studies. We've noticed that in terms of both knowledge transfer and intercultural communication, the English language has played an indispensable role. Furthermore, it's the interest of these students to have a smooth transition from one system to another, for their credits to transfer, and for them to immerse themselves in the new environment as quickly as possible. To this end, more and more Chinese schools are offering courses delivered bilingually or in English to enhance students' international outlook.

One of the greatest challenges in offering Chinese students a course in English is finding a suitable textbook: the textbook must seriously consider what students have done in their high schools; it must meet the national and local official course standards; and it should resonate with significant international flavors so as to students.

Single Variable Calculus is a textbook that meets all of these challenges. The committee members are all dedicated educators with many years of experience. They have not only an in-depth knowledge of calculus but also a deep understanding of students' needs. This text offers a rigorous approach to single variable calculus and also incorporates graphical and numerial approaches and historical notes for many key concepts. All of the important topics of a traditional single variable calculus course are thoroughly covered, but the size of the text is minimized in order to reduce the cost for potential users. It is also the first ever calculus textbook in China printed in color——a tremendous benefit for understanding the applications in differential and integrl calculus.
