From the Back Cover

An accessible and straightforward handbook to the basics of calculus

In the newly revised third edition of Quick Calculus, a team of expert educators delivers a practical, comprehensive, and easy-to-use guide to understanding essential calculus concepts and terms. The book emphasizes technique and application―in contrast to rigorous mathematical proofs―which makes the book an excellent choice for readers who hope to immediately apply calculus concepts to real problems.

Quick Calculus offers an interactive self-teaching format that provides frequent questions and practice problems, increasing the speed and depth of learning and retention. Included self-tests allow readers to monitor their progress and gauge their knowledge. The authors describe the basic principles of differential and integral calculus in a friendly and accessible style, presenting a singular jumping-off point to more rigorous mathematical approaches.

The latest edition offers rewritten introductions and new sections with worked examples that demonstrate the application of calculus to classic problems. These empower the reader to enter the world of differential equations and to apply calculus to a wide spectrum of disciplines.

Quick Calculus, Third Edition is an essential companion for any student or lifelong learner seeking a foundational understanding of calculus.
