Single Variable Calculus

by Gerald L. Bradley, Karl J. Smith

This book blends much of the best aspects of calculus reform with the reasonable goals and methodology of traditional calculus. Readers benefit from an innovative pedagogy and a superb range of problems. Modeling is a major theme — qualitative and quantitative problems demonstrate an extremely wide variety of mathematical, engineering, scientific, and social models. This book addresses topics such as continuity, the mean value theorm, l'Hôpital's rule, parametric equations, polar coordinates, sequences, and series. Differential equations are integrated and coverage is expanded including an introduction to slope fields. Suitable for professionals in engineering, science, and math.
