About this title

Synopsis

El autor tiene como objetivo principal que los estudiantes aprecien las matem�ticas como una ciencia l�gica, al mismo tiempo que les proporciona un fundamento s�lido para el estudio del c�lculo. Este libro incorpora a lo largo del texto la tecnolog�a moderna mediante ejercicios en los que se debe usar la graficadora, no s�lo como instrumento para el aprendizaje sino como instrumento fundamental para la soluci�n de un problema. Como las instrucciones para el uso de ese aparato y los m�todos visuales ampl�an la ense�anza de las matem�ticas previas al c�lculo, el autor ha seguido la filosof�a aprobada por profesores y organizaciones de matem�ticas de vanguardia. Un aspecto significativo de esta edici�n son los modelos matem�ticos de situaciones pr�cticas, presentados como enunciados de problemas en diferentes campos, como administraci�n, econom�a, psicolog�a, sociolog�a, f�sica, qu�mica, ingenier�a, biolog�a y medicina. Cada cap�tulo se inicia con una introducci�n, la cual proporciona al estudiante una motivaci�n para el estudio del tema analizado, y termina con un resumen que sirve como refuerzo a las ideas del mismo. Adem�s, cada secci�n comienza con un lista de objetivos que han de ser cubiertos en esa secci�n. El libro contiene m�s de cuatro mil ejercicios, todos de una gran variedad de �reas de conocimiento y que abarcan desde c�lculos sencillos hasta aplicaciones y problemas te�ricos que comprenden los aspectos de la graficadora y ejercicios de redacci�n. Tambi�n tiene 650 ejemplos y ejemplos ilustrativos; los primeros capacitan a los estudiantes para resolver los ejercicios, al tiempo que sirven como modelos para sus soluciones. Los ejemplos ilustrativos sirven para mostrar un concepto, definici�n o teorema espec�fico; es un prototipo de la idea expuesta.

Store Description

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
