Synopsis

This easy-to-understand calculus study aid is ideal for those who are new to the subject. It offers a well-illustrated, step-by-step introduction that moves along at an easy-to-keep-up-with pace. Use it with your textbook or for independent study to improve your comprehension and boost your grades. It features 226 solved and 513 skill-building supplementary problems--more than other study guides. Whether you simply want to feel confident at test time or build a solid foundation in calculus for more advanced math, science, and engineering course, Schaum's Outline of Beginning Calculus is students' first choice. level of Ayres/Mendelson, Calculus, 3/e. This will make up the calculus segments of one-semester liberal arts courses and the various one-semester Calculus courses for business or life sciences. This book will also address weaker students in general freshman calculus and high school advanced placement courses. Theory is restricted to fundamentals of differentiation and integration (single-variable) and the solved problems, with no steps ommitted, include reviews of algebra. This updated edition will continue the excellent sales record of the first edition and will include: problems suitable for graphing calculators and existing problems adapted to involve calculator use; emphasis on aogorithmic aspects of Calculus; Newton's method will be given a separate section, a section various approximation techniques for integration, Simpson's Rule the Midpoint rule; a section that presents the traditional treatment of exponential and logarithmic functions, which method some textbooks have gone back to.

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.
