Synopsis

This text is problem-driven and features exercises based on real-world applications. Technology is used as a tool to help students learn to think. The features of the book are: the main ideas of calculus presented in a clear, simple manner which should improve students' understanding and encourage them to read the examples; many real-world problems which are open ended - there may be more than one approach and more than one solution, depending on a students' analysis; and topics chosen are based upon discussions with professors from client disciplines (especially engineering, physics, and chemistry) to determine their students' real mathematical needs. A student solutions manual is also available (0471-17356-8).
