About this title

Synopsis:

Designed to appeal to today's modern student of applied calculus, this text blends elements of reform with a strong emphasis on applications, and uses technology to promote understanding of the concepts and relevance of the material. It includes an abundance of examples and exercises, a large number of which are based on referenced data from business, economics, life, and social sciences. An extensive Web site unifies the applications, and use of technology (graphing calculators and spreadsheets) are integrated throughout the text. Relevant and useful pedagogical tools aim to help students grasp the concepts, and the book's text-specific Web site contains interactive tutorials and a number of useful online activities.

Review:

"I have been using Waner/Costenoble for several years now and have enjoyed their use of humor and useful application exercises Their integration of real world problems helps answer students' questions of 'When am I ever going to use this?' Rare is such a question when using this book." "The addition of Excel is a great tool for those using computers in their courses."
