Once again, these extremely readable, highly regarded, and widely adopted texts present innovative ways for applying calculus to real-world situations in the business, economics, life science, and social science disciplines. The texts' straightforward, engaging approach fosters the growth of both the student's mathematical maturity and his/her appreciation for the usefulness of mathematics. The authors' "tried and true" formula - pairing substantial amounts of graphical analysis and informal geometric proofs with an abundance of hands-on exercises - has proven to be tremendously successful with both students and instructors.

What would the benefit to your students be of using a text which blends practical applications with mathematical concepts?

  • Reinforces class lessons with carefully designed exercise sets, and challenges students to make their own connections.

  • Gets students going with practice problems that provide supported tasks.

  • Minimizes prerequisites, allowing those who have forgotten much of their high school mathematics to start anew with this self-contained material.

  • Includes many real-life applications/scenarios as well as the Index of Applications, which demonstrates to students the relevance of their studies.

  • Provides easy-to-understand instructions for using calculators, eliminating the need for a manual.

  • Makes available up-to-date, customized calculus software for instructors interested in the use of computers.

  • Early introduction to the derivative and its applications. (Chs. 1 & 2)
