Description

The Eighth Edition of Calculus and Its Applications builds on its reputation as one of the most student-oriented and clearly written Applied Calculus texts available. The exercises have been substantially updated to include additional relevant and current topics.


Features

  • Revised exercises provide current users with a fresh bank of material for assignments.
  • The text incorporates a careful, gradual introduction to differentiation, with relative and absolute maxima and minima covered in separate sections. Students will benefit by gradually building up these topics, as they consider graphing using calculus concepts.
  • Extended Technology Applications at the end of each chapter use real applications and real data, and require a step-by-step analysis that lends itself well to group work.
  • Technology Connections are used throughout, to encourage the use of technology in exploring problem situations.
  • Applications are grouped by discipline within the exercise sets, using such headings as Life/Physical Science, Social Science, General Interest, etc., to show students the relevance of calculus to other disciplines.
  • An Index of Applications provides a quick reference for assigning problems.
  • Algebra review included in Chapter 1 will help students recall basic algebraic skills, a common need.
  • Section objectives are stated in the margin, providing a road map of each section for students and instructors.
  • The end-of-section material includes: Skill and drill exercises, Applications, Synthesis, Thinking/Writing exercises and Graphing calculator exercises.
  • The end-of-chapter material includes: Terms to Know, with page references, Review exercises, including applications, Synthesis exercises, Thinking/Writing exercises, and Chapter Test. Extended Technology Application.


New To This Edition

  • The exercises have been substantially updated to include additional relevant and current topics.
  • More applications focusing on Economics and Biology have been added throughout.
  • MyMathLab is now available with the Eighth Edition of Calculus and Its Applications. MyMathLab is a complete, on-line course that provides interactive, multimedia instruction correlated to the textbook content. MyMathLab is easily customizable to suit the needs of students and instructors and provides a comprehensive and efficient on-line course-management system that allows for diagnosis, assessment, and tracking of students' progress.
