There have been much discussions in recent years about the teaching of calculus. Among the various directions in the reform movement is the Consortium based at Harvard University. The text [2] for this project begins with a discussion of a library of functions. We introduced in our first semester calculus class several functions that are applicable to students’ environment. The postage stamp function and the grading function are examples of step functions, such as the greatest integer function.
