Description
Geared toward business and social science majors, this text equips students with the analytical tools and technological skills they need to be successful in the workplace. Uncomplicated language and a straightforward writing style promote conceptual understanding. The incorporation of real-life applications, examples, and data analysis and interpretation helps engage students--even those with minimal interest in mathematics. For instructors who want to make mathematics meaningful to their students, Applied Calculus teaches rigorous concepts in manner that is accessible without cutting corners.

Streamlined content allows instructors to cover the text in its entirety and maintains student interest. A range of technology resources--including CL MATHSpace, with access to textbook websites and course management tools--makes the process of teaching and learning dynamic, both in the classroom and online.

Features

CL MATHSpace encompasses the interactive online products and services integrated with Houghton Mifflin mathematics programs. Ready-to-use content can be accessed through text-specific Student and Instructor Websites and via course management systems. For optimal instruction and learning, CL MATHSpace Homework Powered by WebAssign allows instructors to create assignments from a database of algorithmic questions based on end-of-section exercises.

Make It Real projects ask students to collect and analyze data that relates to their interests, studies, or livelihood. The authors have found that students better understand mathematical concepts when they can make these connections to their own lives.

Technology Tips throughout the text help students master techniques on the graphing calculator, such as graphing functions, solving equations, and finding the value of a function. These detailed tips describe individual keystrokes and often show step-by-step calculator screenshots.

Examples, Exercises, and Applications use real-life data and involve subjects of interest to students majoring in business and social sciences. Covering topics such as Starbucks, CDs, student loans and Wal-Mart, the exercises (noted in the text by a globe icon) bring currency and immediacy to mathematical concepts.

In the front matter and endpapers of the text, an Index of Applications and an Index of Businesses, Products, and Associations allow instructors to easily find problems of particular interest to their students.
