Synopsis

Designed for students majoring in business, economics, social sciences, or life sciences, this mathematically correct, accessible, and student-friendly introduction to applied calculus prepares students to deal with calculus topics when they are encountered in other areas. The emphasis throughout is on computational skills, ideas, and problem solving--rather than on mathematical theory. Most derivations and proofs are omitted except where their inclusion adds significant insight into a particular concept, and general concepts and results are usually presented only after particular cases have been discussed.

About this title

From the Publisher:

Designed for students majoring in business, economics, or life sciences, this mathematically correct and student-friendly introduction to applied calculus begins with an optional library of elementary functions, presents the basics of differential and integral calculus, and then provides self-contained explorations of multivariable calculus, differential equations, Taylor polynomials and infinite series, probability and calculus, and trigonometry. The emphasis throughout is on computational skills, ideas, and problem solving, and a great variety of graded exercises and worked examples gives students extensive practice with real-world applications.

From the Back Cover:

This accessible, and reader-friendly introduction to applied calculus prepares readers to deal with calculus topics when they are encountered in a variety of areas. The emphasis throughout is on computational skills, ideas, and problem solving--rather than on mathematical theory. Most derivations and proofs are omitted except where their inclusion adds significant insight into a particular concept, and general concepts and results are usually presented only after particular cases have been discussed.
