Calculus and Its Applications, Thirteenth Edition is a comprehensive, yet flexible, text for students majoring in business, economics, life science, or social sciences. The authors delve into greater mathematical depth than other texts while motivating students through relevant, up-to-date, applications drawn from students’ major fields of study. The authors motivate key ideas geometrically and intuitively, providing a solid foundation for the more abstract treatments that follow. Every chapter includes a large quantity of exceptional exercises—a hallmark of this text--that address skills, applications, concepts, and technology. The MyMathLab® course for the text features thousands of assignable exercises, built-in support for gaps in basic skills, and an array of interactive figures designed to help students visualize key concepts.
The Thirteenth Edition includes updated applications, exercises, and technology coverage. The authors have also added more study tools, including a prerequisite skills diagnostic test and a greatly improved end-of-chapter summary, and made content improvements based on user reviews.
Features + Benefits
The student-oriented presentation helps students as they complete homework. The text’s numerous examples are designed to help students learn independently.
Time-tested exercise sets have been carefully designed and sorted by level of difficulty, allowing instructors to choose the most appropriate exercises for their students. Each section also has technology exercises, encouraging students to use technology to solve problems. These problems are clearly labeled for instructor convenience.
Applications contain up-to-date data to illustrate the relevance of the mathematical concepts. Topics include health expenditures, the federal deficit, mortgages, debt per capita, and price of gasoline.
Check Your Understanding exercises at the end of each section target the concepts that can cause confusion for students. Complete solutions are provided for these unique exercises following the exercise sets within the text.
“Caution!” notes provide tips on common pitfalls and mistakes by students and appear at relevant times throughout the text.
Incorporating Technology features at the end of most sections include useful information about the use of graphing calculators. These features are optional and clearly marked. Additional support material can be downloaded from this book's Companion Website.
