Taking an intuitive approach with the emphasis on the applications of calculus to the technologies, this book is student-oriented. The presentation is clear and concise, the examples are worked in detail (enhanced by marginal annotations), and step-by-step procedures are used whenever possible. It retains the spirit of the calculus by the use of historical notes, asides and informal motivations.
