description: The subject of calculus does not usually evoke adjectives like simple and concise. Traditional calculus texts have involved a more comprehensive theoretical approach than is appropriate for those learning this critically important subject for its utilitarian value.This succinct innovative text:* Presents the standard material of single-variable calculus in a simple and concise manner.* Explains essential calculus concepts through simple geometric and physical examples rather than formal proofs.* Teaches future engineers the essential calculus they will need to succeed in their profession making it an eminently suitable text for two-term calculus courses taught in schools of engineering.* Provides engineering professionals with a ready resource for the calculus techniques they may have forgotten.* Makes calculus accessible to readers whose prior knowledge may only include high school algebra but who need to utilize calculus for academic or professional advancement.Sponsored by:IEEE Education Society
