A revision of the successful classic text known for its elegant writing style, precision and perfect balance of theory and applications, this Eighth Edition is refined to offer students an even clearer understanding of calculus and an insight into mathematics. It includes a wealth of problem sets which give calculus relevance for students. Salas, Hille, and Etgen is recognized for its mathematical integrity, accuracy, and clarity.
A NEW APPROACH TO CALCULUS THAT BETTER ENABLES STUDENTS TO PROGRESS TO MORE ADVANCED COURSES AND APPLICATIONS Calculus and Analysis: A Combined Approach bridges the gap between mathematical thinking skills and advanced calculus topics by providing an introduction to the key theory for understanding and working with applications in engineering and the sciences. Through a modern approach that utilizes fully calculated problems, the book addresses the importance of calculus and analysis in the applied sciences, with a focus on differential equations. Differing from the common classical approach to the topic, this book presents a modern perspective on calculus that follows motivations from Otto ...

Everything you need to know-basic essential concepts-about calculus For anyone looking for a readable alternative to the usual unwieldy calculus text, here's a concise, no-nonsense approach to learning calculus. Following up on the highly popular first edition of Understanding Calculus, Professor H. S. Bear offers an expanded, improved edition that will serve the needs of every mathematics and engineering student, or provide an easy-to-use refresher text for engineers. Understanding Calculus, Second Edition provides in a condensed format all the material covered in the standard two-year calculus course. In addition to the first edition's comprehensive treatment of one-variable calculus, it c...
Introduces analysis, presenting analytical proofs backed by geometric intuition and placing minimum reliance on geometric argument. This edition separates continuity and differentiation and expands coverage of integration to include discontinuous functions. The discussion of differentiation of a vector function of a vector variable has been modernized by defining the derivative to be the Jacobian matrix; and, the general form of the chain rule is given, as is the general form of the implicit transformation theorem.
Dwyer and Gruenwald’s Calculus Resequenced for Students in STEM, Preliminary Edition highlights a new approach to calculus and is devoted to improving the calculus sequence for students in STEM majors. The text introduces a new standard for order and choice of topics for the 3-semester sequence. Resequencing topics in the calculus sequence allows for front-loading material for upper-level STEM majors into the first two semesters, ensuring Calculus 2 is an attractive jumping-off point for students in biology and chemistry. The topical ordering was developed in consultation with advisory boards consisting of educators in mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics, engineering and economics at diverse institutions.
At Harvard, tenure decisions are a matter of life -- or death. For Dennis Gossen, the economics department whiz kid currently being considered for tenure, it's definitely death. When he's turned down by the high-and-mighty Promotion and Tenure Committee, Gossen commits suicide. A Question of Cost Accounting... Or does he? It's hard to imagine why a young man with a brilliant scholarly future -- at Harvard or not -- would come up with an equation in which the opportunity cost of killing himself (a high price, considering his potential earnings) would be outweighed by the emotional cost of failing to receive tenure. ... Or Utility? Then two members of the P and T Committee are murdered, and it becomes clear to Professor Henry Spearman of the Economics Department that the killer must be on the committee. But which of his illustrious colleagues would have significantly increased his -- or her -- utility (i.e., happiness) by murdering a faculty member or two? Or three?
