About this title

Book Description:

An ideal way of mastering the essentials of calculus in the late 1990s, this book carefully develops--giving all steps--the principles of differentiation and integration on which the whole of calculus is built. Featuring hundreds of problems with complete solutions, and nearly 500 illustrations, the Second Edition of this popular learning tool now emphasizes the algorithmic aspects of calculus. It also includes problems suitable for graphing calculators, and adapts existing problems to involve calculator use.
