Applied Calculus

by Deborah Hughes-Hallett

The 5th Edition of Applied Calculus continues to exhibit the same strengths from earlier editions including a focus on creative conceptual and modeling problems and the "Rule of Four", an emphasis on concepts and modeling, exposition that teaches a flexible approach to technology. This issue provides readers with deeper skills needed to apply calculus on the job and highlights connections with real-world concerns. The problems and exercises are challenging and provoke deeper thinking to help apply math in new ways. The material is presented in a way to help readers 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.
