Description
Tan updates his textbook for an introductory calculus course of one or two semesters for students in the managerial, life, and social sciences. His approach is intuitive and he states results informally, he says, but has taken special care to ensure that this approach does not compromise the mathematical content and accuracy. With an emphasis on applications, he presents many exercises so students can practice the techniques. Among his topics are differentiation, applications of the derivative, exponential and logarithmic functions, calculus of several variables, differential equations, and trigonometric functions.
