Brief Applied Calculus

Description:

This book uses intriguing real-world applications to engage readers' interest and show them the practical side of calculus. Its many applications are related to finance, business, and such general-interest topics as learning curves in airplane production, the age of the Dead Sea Scrolls, Apple and Oracle stock prices, the distance traveled by sports cars, lives saved by seat belts, and the cost of a congressional victory. The Seventh Edition maintains the hallmark features that have made BRIEF APPLIED CALCULUS so popular: contemporary and interesting applications including many that are new or updated); careful and effective use of technology, including graphing calculator and spreadsheet coverage; constant pedagogical reinforcement through section summaries, chapter summaries, annotated examples, and extra practice problems; Just-in-Time algebra review material; and a variety of exercises that allow readers to practice and hone their problem-solving skills.


Editorial Reviews

Review

The exercises at the end of each section are particularly good, many use real data with citations to the original sources. The variety of exercises and various levels of difficulty are very, very good."

"This book is really concise and covers core of calculus effectively. I love this book."

2.0 out of 5 stars Would only recomend to someone who previously took calc, if learning the subject for the first time USE ANY OTHER BOOK!!

E. · December 3, 2015

I needed to buy this book for a class that I was in. The only good thing about it is that most of the problems are geared towards business majors. The lessons in the book are taught through examples and the examples aren't very well explained in the book. It would take me days of just staring at the lessons trying to figure out where the author got this number from and why they did a certain thing in the problem.It's great for someone who knows what they're doing but for someone trying to learn the subject BUY ANOTHER BOOK!!!

Superb Book for Self-Learners

G.R.F. · November 21, 2024

The application of math to the real world is a tremendous boon for learning. Math, and calculus more specifically, can lose itself within its many concepts, but when you apply those concepts to real world problems, you see their utility and you develop a sense of how to solve similar problems.With its many examples and frequent quizzes, this book guides you through some very interesting material.Highly recommended.
