Riassunto

This user-friendly survey of applied calculus prepares readers to deal with the calculus they may encounter while working in business, economics, life sciences, or social sciences. The emphasis throughout is on computational skills, ideas, and problem solving?rather than on mathematical theory. It features numerous worked, annotated, step-by-step examples and an abundance of applications, problems, and exercises for practice. The use of graphing calculators and computers is addressed throughout and web references lead readers to sites where they will find sources of real data for applications, further discussion of applications, further examples of topics, etc. A Beginning Library of Elementary Functions. Additional Elementary Functions. The Derivative. Graphing and Optimization. Additional Derivative Topics. Integration. Additional Integration Topics. Multivariable Calculus. Differential Equations. Taylor Polynomials and Infinite Series. Probability and Calculus. Trigonometric Functions. Basic Algebra Review. Special Topics. For anyone needing a solid introduction to the mathematics used in business, economics, life science, and social sciences.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

Barnett/Ziegler/Byleen, Applied Calculus, eighth edition provides comprehensive coverage of the topics essential to the mathematical development of students majoring in business, economics, social sciences, or life sciences. The emphasis throughout is on computational skills, ideas, and problem solving―rather than on mathematical theory. Derivations and proofs are included only when necessary.

The Barnett texts are known for their varied applications and thorough exercise sets. The eighth edition continues this high standard. The text is mathematically correct, accessible, and student-friendly. Applied Calculus succeeds at preparing students to deal with calculus topics when they encounter them outside the mathematics classroom.
