Calculus & Its Applications [with MyMathLab]

by Larry J. Goldstein, David I. Schneider, Nakhlé H. Asmar

Calculus and Its Applications, Thirteenth Edition is a comprehensive, yet flexible, text for students majoring in business, economics, life science, or social sciences. The authors delve into greater mathematical depth than other texts while motivating students through relevant, up-to-date, applications drawn from students' major fields of study. The authors motivate key ideas geometrically and intuitively, providing a solid foundation for the more abstract treatments that follow. Every chapter includes a large quantity of exceptional exercises--a hallmark of this text--that address skills, applications, concepts, and technology. The Thirteenth Edition includes updated applications, exercises, and technology coverage. The authors have also added more study tools, including a prerequisite skills diagnostic test and a greatly improved end-of-chapter summary, and made content improvements based on user reviews. 0321867297 / 9780321867292 Calculus & Its Applications Plus MyMathLab -- Access Card Package Package consists of 0321431308 / 9780321431301 MyMathLab/MyStatLab -- Glue-in Access Card 0321654064 / 9780321654069 MyMathLab Inside Star 032184890X / 9780321848901 Calculus & Its Applications

This book made up for an unskilled instructor. I wouldnt have learned a thing if it wasnt for this book. I spent 16 weeks with this book. I might as well add it to the READ collection

Does this count as a book? Sure!

It was fine. Nothing to write home about, but basically everything I know about calculus came from this book. The accompanying material in MyMathLab was super helpful and I really appreciated it. The book itself was less helpful than those problems, but it was good enough to make up for the strange circumstances of taking a math class during the pandemic.

It's a Calculus textbook. Enough said.

Used the 12th edition for my college Calc class. A painful ride. Clear as mud. And that's coming from someone who's typically math savvy.

It a good starting place for someone with no exposure to calculus and is looking for businesses application of calculus. I liked how similar example types (the cost/revenue questions at the end of the chapters) were carried through each chapter to see how different techniques and what they mean are applied. Most of the problems are very easy to solve and have little variation from the chapter sample problems which can be good or bad depending on your need. It means I skipped over many of the word problems as they were just the same exact problems with different scenarios so the application part is very narrow.

After failing college calculus due to a brain injury, I retook an independent study course that used this as the text. I found it very useful for someone with some exposure to teach myself the calculus.
