Book Overview

Ensure your success Purchase the value package textbook and Student Solutions manual for the price of the textbook alone That's a $32.95 savings (Set ISBN: 0471654930) Textbook: Achieving a fine balance between the concepts and procedures of calculus, this applied Calculus text provides students with the solid background they need in the subject with a thorough understanding of its applications in a wide range of fields ? from biology to economics. Key features of this innovative text include: The text is problem driven and features exceptional exercises based on real-world applications. The authors provide alternative avenues through which students can understand the material. Each topic is presented four ways: geometrically, numerically, analytically, and verbally. Students are encouraged to interpret answers and explain their reasoning throughout the book, which the author considers a unique concept compared to other books. Many of the real-world problems are open-ended, meaning that there may be more than one approach and more than one solution, depending on the student's analysis. Solving a problem often relies on the use of common sense and critical thinking skills. Students are encouraged to develop estimating and approximating skills. The book presents the main ideas of calculus in a clear, simple manner to improve students' understanding and encourage them to read the examples. Technology is used as a tool to help students visualize the concepts and learn to think mathematically. Graphics calculators, graphing software, or computer algebra systems perfectly complement this book but the emphasis is on the calculus concepts rather than the technology. (Textbook ISBN: 0471207926) Student Solutions Manual: Provides complete solutions to every odd exercise in the text. These solutions will help you develop the strong foundation you need to succeed in your Calculus class and allow you to finish the course with the foundation that you need to apply the calculus you learned to subsequent courses.

Applied Calculus

An excellent textbook which covers introductory topics in Calculus. The author also touches on topics from Multivariate Calculus, which will only benefit you.

Fantastic calculus book. You can actually tell that it applies to the real world, hence "Applied Calculus."

excellent, much faster than I expected

Excellent seller. It arrived much faster than I expected.Thanks a lot

Teach yourself Calculus

This book is addressed for understanding of the Calculus and not for the traditional teaching that sins for the excess of formalism. It is an excellent book for who wants to understand and to learn Calculus through the application of problems of the Real World. The book also motivates the use of graphic calculators to have a better vision of the problem.
