Applied Calculus 5th Edition [Pehme köide]

A team called the Calculus Consortium revises the introductory textbook that emphasizes the mathematical dimension of calculus, rather than reducing it to a set of rules and procedures. It can be used for a one-semester or two-semester course in applied calculus. It covers functions and change, rate of change; the derivative, short-cuts to differentiation, using the derivative, accumulated change; the definite integral, anti-derivatives and applications, probability, functions of several variables, mathematical modeling using differential equations, and geometric series. First published in 1999 and updated here from the 2010 edition. Annotation ©2014 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

The 5^th Edition of Applied Calculus continues to exhibit the same strengths from earlier editions including a focus on creative conceptual and modeling problems and the "Rule of Four", an emphasis on concepts and modeling, exposition that teaches a flexible approach to technology. This issue provides readers with deeper skills needed to apply calculus on the job and highlights connections with real-world concerns. The problems and exercises are challenging and provoke deeper thinking to help apply math in new ways. The material is presented in a way to help readers decide when to use technology, which empowers them to learn what calculators/computers can and cannot do.
