Applied Calculus: Interpretations in Business and the Life and Social Sciences

by Denny Burzynski, Guy D. Sanders

Through an interpretative approach, numbers arrived at through calculus operations have meanings attached to them. Most calculus texts end discussions of concepts with examples and exercises which almost always result in numerical answers. The authors state that this tells the student that the answer is a number. To students reading business, the life sciences or social science, who want to know how calculus applies to other fields, a more meaningful approach is to interpret what that number means.
