A revision of the best selling innovative Calculus text on the market. A product of an NSF funded grant, this next generation text is concise in number of topics and lenth. Functions are presented graphically, numerically, algebraically, and verbally to give students the benefit of alternate interpretations. The text is problem driven with exceptional exercises based on real world applications from engineering, physics, life sciences, and economics.
Technology is used as a tool to help students learn to think mathematically.
The second edition continues its focused vision by covering only the essential calculus topics students need for later courses. Top A problem driven text in which the student starts with a practical problem and derives general results from it. The topical coverage was determined after discussion with mathematicians and client disciplines to focus on students'calculus needs. Emphasis is on depth of understanding and not breadth of coverage. Equal weight is given to describing functions graphically, numerically, symbollically, and verbally in order to provide alternate avenues through which students can understand the material.
