This ingenious, user-friendly introduction to calculus recounts adventures that take place in the mythical land of Carmorra. As the story's narrator meets Carmorra's citizens, they confront a series of practical problems, and their method of working out solutions employs calculus. As readers follow their adventures, they are introduced to calculating derivatives; finding maximum and minimum points with derivatives; determining derivatives of trigonometric functions; discovering and using integrals; working with logarithms, exponential functions, vectors, and Taylor series; using differential equations; and much more. This introduction to calculus presents exercises at the end of each chapter and gives their answers at the back of the book. Step-by-step worksheets with answers are included in the chapters. Computers are used for numerical integration and other tasks. The book also includes graphs, charts, and whimsical line illustrations. Barron's Easy Way books introduce a variety of academic and practical subjects to students and general readers in clear, understandable language. Ideal as self-teaching manuals for readers interested in learning a new career-related skill, these books have also found widespread clroom use as supplementary texts and brush-up test-preparation guides.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Susan Detrich (illustrator). Second Edition. The book is in good condition with no dust jacket. The cover shows some wear consistent with age, but the binding remains strong. The pages have some highlighting and pencil annotations but none of the equations have answers written on them that I saw after flipping through the book. Illustrations by Susan Detrich are intact and contribute to the book's educational value. ##. Seller Inventory # BS1-007
