Description:

Designed for the one- to two-semester business/applied calculus course that commonly requires the use of graphing calculators and spreadsheets, this text uses applications and technology to develop concepts before presenting concrete examples. The text presents the mathematics using many representationsalgebraic, graphical, numeric, and verbalto help students of diverse learning styles better understand and connect concepts. Students also use real data and graphing technology to build models and interpret results. Diverse exercise sets give instructors a wide variety of exercise formats to choose from when creating homework assignments. An Activities Key found at the beginning of each…
