This planning project at the Community College of Philadelphia will             develop a Lagrangian calculus for their students, who are predominantly         women, minorities and returning adults.                                                                                                                         Lagrangian calculus develops concepts via polynomial approximations             rather than limits.  It reduces questions about "any" function to the           same question about a power function, which appears in the                      approximating polynomial.                                                                                                                                       This two semester course will be equivalent to pre-calculus and one             semester of calculus.  The first semester will consist of linear                approximations, quadratic, and power functions.  The second semester            will consist of the differential study of polynomials, Laurent                  polynomials, rational and elementary transcendental functions by                Lagrange's approach.                                                                                                                                            Experimental sections of the course will also be taught at Essex and            Middlesex Community Colleges.                                                                                                                                   The College is providing over a third of the project's cost.
