Synopsis
Business and social science majors in a one-semester calculus course of a follow-up to finite mathematics receive an applications oriented text with a strong focus on exercises to help students develop problem-solving skills. Optional "Graphics Calculator Explorations" sections and exercises incorporate the graphing calculator. An in-text appendix on graphing calculators and a separate graphing calculator manual further supports their use. Distinctive case studies describe interesting, relevant situations and provide solutions to concrete real-world problems related to calculus. Referenced exercises in every section provide students with real-world applications from business, economics, and the social sciences. The text includes three approaches to limits - arithmetic, geometric, and algebraic - to give instructors flexibility in teaching and help students see the relationship among the different approaches. "Cumulative Problems" in nearly every exercise set serve as a handy comprehensive and continual review for students.
