Technical Calculus With Analytic Geometry

This text is written for today's technology student, with an accessible, intuitive approach and an emphasis on applications of calculus to technology. The text's presentation of concepts is clear and concise, with examples worked in great detail, enhanced by marginal annotations, and supported with step-by-step procedures whenever possible. Another powerful enhancement is the use of a functional second color to help explain steps. Differential and integral calculus are introduced in the first five chapters, while more advanced topics, such as differential equations and LaPlace transforms, are covered in later chapters. This organization allows the text to be used in a variety of technology programs.

Peter Kuhfittig has taught mathematics at the Milwaukee School of Engineering for over thirty years and has served as head of the department for over half of this period. His enthusiasm for teaching has resulted in an award for excellence in teaching, as well as an interest in textbook writing. He has been involved in applications of mathematics through occasional consulting work. More recently, Dr. Kuhfittig has turned to research in wormhole physics.
