Applied Calculus

by Deborah Hughes-Hallett, Patti Frazer Lock, Andrew M. Gleason

The fourth edition gives readers the skills to apply calculus on the job. It highlights the applications’ connection with real-world concerns. The problems take advantage of computers and graphing calculators to help them think mathematically.  The applied exercises challenge them to apply the math they have learned in new ways.  This develops their capacity for modeling in a way that the usual exercises patterned after similar solved examples cannot do. The material is also presented in a way to help business professionals decide when to use technology, which empowers them to learn what calculators/computers can and cannot do.

Yay, I'm all done with Calculus and community college at the same time. Both great things, and also things I'm very happy to be done with.

I always thought it was hard to do maths, but this book was too clear and everything was simple.
Even though some of the chapters might be better in a different sequence but I think that it's okay as calculus has related topics in different ways.

I did not find this book to be very helpful with my Calculus class. Some of the lessons did not do very much for teaching me how to compute the answers.
