Calculus: Single Variable / Edition 5

by Deborah Hughes-Hallett, Andrew M. Gleason, William G. McCallum, David O. Lomen, David Lovelock

Overview

An innovative text that emphasizes the graphical, numerical and analytical aspects of calculus throughout and often asks students to explain ideas using words. This problem driven text introduces topics with a real-world problem and derives the general results from it. It can be used with any technology that can graph and find definite integrals numerically. The derivative, the integral, differentiation, and differential equations are among the topics covered.

Editorial Reviews

Calculus can be taught as nothing but rules and procedures--losing sight of both the mathematics and its inherent practical value. In 1989, the Calculus Consortium based at Harvard was formed to create a completely new calculus curriculum. A part of their endeavor is this textbook, which presents a radically different approach to the teaching and learning of the subject. The two guiding principles: 1) every topic should be presented geometrically, numerically, and algebraically; and 2) formal definitions and procedures evolve from the investigation of practical problems (the way of Archimedes).
