Description for Calculus in Context: Background, Basics, and Applications
Hardback. Calculus in Context is a compelling exploration-for students and instructors alike-of a discipline that is both rich in conceptual beauty and broad in its applied relevance. Num Pages: 712 pages, 645, 645 black & white line drawings. BIC Classification: PBJ; PBKA; PBW; PBX. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 254 x 178 x 46. .
Breaking the mold of existing calculus textbooks, Calculus in Context draws students into the subject in two new ways. Part I develops the mathematical preliminaries (including geometry, trigonometry, algebra, and coordinate geometry) within the historical frame of the ancient Greeks and the heliocentric revolution in astronomy. Part II starts with comprehensive and modern treatments of the fundamentals of both differential and integral calculus, then turns to a wide-ranging discussion of applications. Students will learn that core ideas of calculus are central to concepts such as acceleration, force, momentum, torque, inertia, and the properties of lenses. Classroom-tested ... Read more
