For a one-semester or one-quarter course covering calculus for students majoring in business, economics, social sciences, or life sciences.
This mid-level text covers calculus with an emphasis on cross-discipline principles and practices. Student-friendly and accessible, it develops a thorough, functional understanding of mathematical concepts in preparation for their application in other areas. Coverage concentrates on developing concepts and ideas followed immediately by developing computational skills and problem solving.
