Description

Functions in this text are presented graphically, numerically, algebraically and verbally, aimed at giving students the benefit of alternate interpretations. The text is problem-driven with exercises based on real world applications from engineering, physics, life sciences and economics. Technology is used as a tool to help students learn to think mathematically. The second edition continues to cover only the essential calculus topics students need.
