Power of Calculus

This edition, as did the earlier ones, evolved from the authors' experiences in teaching calculus to students of business, economics, biology and social studies. As a text it represents their belief that students using carefully worked examples, models pertinent to their discipline, and relevant problems will develop an appreciation of the power, elegance and efficiency of the calculus. The opinions of the authors have been reflected in this book. The most favoured features, such as carefully worked out examples have been retained, whilst adding hundreds of real life problems in business, economics, biology, and the social studies and additional graphs and illustrations. In rewriting the text material it has often been possible to reduce the mathematical level and the amount of notation, thus affording the instructor who wishes to spend more time on the models and applied problems an opportunity to do so.
