Brief Calculus for Business, Social Sciences and Life Sciences, Preliminary Edition - Softcover

This text was developed as part of the calculus reform movement. Key features of the book are: technology used as a tool to help students visualize the concepts and learn to think mathematically; and many of the real-world problems are open-ended, meaning that there may be more than one approach and more than one solution, depending on the student's analysis. A student solutions manual (0-471-17658-3) is also available which provides students with complete solutions to half the odd-numbered problems. This step-by-step guide walks students through the text as they read it, while supporting the discovery approach.
