About this Item

This text is problem-driven and features exercises based on real-world applications. Technology is used as a tool to help students learn to think. The features of the book are: the main ideas of calculus presented in a clear, simple manner which should improve students' understanding and encourage them to read the examples; many real-world problems which are open ended - there may be more than one approach and more than one solution, depending on a students' analysis; and topics chosen are based upon discussions with professors from client disciplines (especially engineering, physics, and chemistry) to determine their students' real mathematical needs. A student solutions manual is also available (0471-17356-8).

From the Publisher

This innovative book is the product of an NSF funded calculus consortium based at Harvard University and was developed as part of the calculus reform movement. It is problem driven and features exceptional exercises based on real-world applications. The book uses technology as a tool to help readers learn to think. Every topic and function is presented graphically, numerically, and algebraically. Formal definitions and procedures evolve from the investigation of practical problems.
