here at my university every student (thanks to MSAA) has... er... a license for xp pro, xp home, 95, 98, 98se, me, 2000 pro, 2003 whatnot... so I count as 8 windows users...:/ i feel *so* sad!
my Calculus teacher took a strange approach -- he introduced limits as "how does this function look like when we look at it from a very long distance?" or "how does this function look like when we look at it from a very short distance?", and then he developed these similitudes on and on. this way I was able to understand curvilineous integrals and a lot of other strange topics (here the exam is called calculus 2) in something like five minutes...
I still haven't found a book taking this approach, but I found this "visual" manner of introducing such a fundamental topic to be quite interesting. HTH.
