Technical Calculus

A textbook for students enrolled in a two-year, four-year, or continuing education engineering technology program that requires developing practical calculus. Assumes a background in algebra and trigonometry. Presents the major areas of analytical geometry, differential calculus, integral calculus, partial derivatives, double integrals, series, and differential equations. Updated from the 1986 edition; first published in 1977. No bibliography. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Presents a thorough discussion of the practical calculus skills required for engineering technology. Presenting topics in an intuitive manner, the book integrates technical applications throughout. It includes detailed, step-by-step examples and provides reviews of trigonometric functions, inverse trigonometric functions, and exponential and logarithmic functions as well as a review of the uses of a graphing calculator. The third edition of Technical Calculus has been revised throughout to emphasize clarity and accuracy in the presentation. A valuable calculus reference book for technical engineers.
