Applied Calculus for Business, Economics, Life Sciences, and Social Sciences (College Mathematics Series) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Introducing applied calculus, this text begins with with an optional library of elementary functions. It goes on to to present the basics of differential and integral calculus and then provides self-contained explorations of multivariable calculus, differential equations, Taylor polynomials and infinite series, probability and calculus, and trigonometry. The emphasis throughout is on computational skills, ideas and problem solving, and a wide variety of graded exercises are included. The book relocates coverage of limits by developing the limit properties necessary to find derivatives by the definition; it also discusses continuity and graphs, and considers limits at infinity and infinite limits. The dinite integral is introduced as a limit of Riemann sums, following the more traditional development of integration and emphasizing understanding of basic concepts. The book discusses only first-order differential equations, and concentrates on the relationships between probability and calculus, discussing some of the numerical techniques within the book and presenting others as graphing utility activities.

From the Back Cover
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.
