Applied Calculus 5th Edition is praised for the creative and varied conceptual and modeling problems which motivate and challenge students. The 5 th Edition of this market leading text exhibits the same strengths from earlier editions including the "Rule of Four," an emphasis on concepts and modeling, exposition that students can read and understand and a flexible approach to technology. Updated data and fresh applications throughout the book are designed to build student confidence with basic concepts and to reinforce skills. As in the previous edition, a Pre-test is included for students whose skills may need a refresher prior to taking the course.
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.
