Synopsis

This text for the one- or two-semester applied or business calculus course uses intriguing real-world applications to engage students' interest and show them the practical side of calculus. Integrated use of graphing calculators, combined with thought-provoking writing exercises, give students a well-rounded mathematical experience. Brief Applied Calculus has been praised by reviewers for its optional integration of technology and its strong pedagogy, which includes unique end-of-section summaries.

• For added convenience and motivation, complete Solutions to Practice Problems are now placed between the Section Summary and Section Exercises, rather than in an appendix.
• Eduspace is Houghton Mifflin's online learning tool. Powered by Blackboard, Eduspace is a customizable, powerful and interactive platform that provides instructors with text-specific online courses and content. The Berresford/Rockett Applied Calculus course features algorithmic exercises and test bank content in question pools.
