Calculus: Ideas and Applications (Hardcover)

Description:

Textbook:  This lively, informal applied calculus text speaks directly to the needs of students in business, economics, life sciences, social sciences, and liberal arts. In a clear, conversational style, the authors focus on key themes without bogging students down in peripheral detail. Throughout the text, the authors successfully present real and interesting examples and exercises—ranging from simple and engaging human-interest problems to important global issues—which keep interest level and motivation high. The text is carefully structured while remaining interesting, clear, and relevant.

This Brief Edition is designed specifically for a one-semester or two-quarter course covering material that includes functions, limits, derivatives, integrals, an introduction to multi-variable calculus, and trigonometric functions, with interesting real-life applications throughout.
