Single Variable Calculus

This book blends much of the best aspects of calculus reform with the reasonable goals and methodology of traditional calculus. Readers benefit from an innovative pedagogy and a superb range of problems. Modeling is a major theme — qualitative and quantitative problems demonstrate an extremely wide variety of mathematical, engineering, scientific, and social models. This book addresses topics such as continuity, the mean value theorm, l'Hopital's rule, parametric equations, polar coordinates, sequences, and series. Differential equations are integrated and coverage is expanded including an introduction to slope fields. Suitable for professionals in engineering, science, and math.

Written to blend many of the best aspects of calculus reform with the reasonable goals and methodology of traditional calculus, this text prepares students of engineering, science, and math to move on to more advanced and necessary professional courses. Single Variable Calculus presents most traditional topics, such as continuity, the mean value theorem, l'Hpital's rule, parametric equations, polor coordinates, sequences, and series, in an attempt to incorporate the right amount of calculus reform. The book enables students to focus on learning by providing them with sound development of concepts, challenging problems, and a well- developed pedagogy.
