Applied Calculus for Business, Economics, and the Social and Life Sciences, Expanded Edition provides a sound, intuitive understanding of the basic concepts students need as they pursue careers in business, economics, and the life and social sciences. Students achieve success using this text as a result of the author's applied and real-world orientation to concepts, problem-solving approach, straight forward and concise writing style, and comprehensive exercise sets. More than 100,000 students worldwide have studied from this text!

The Expanded Eighth Edition of Applied Calculus for Business, Economics, and the Social and Life Sciences includes four additional chapters: - Chapter 8, Differential Equations - Chapter 9, Infinite Series and Taylor Approximations - Chapter 10, Probability and Calculus - Chapter 11, Trigonometric Functions The textbook meets the needs of instructors who cover topics in one or more of these four chapters together with material from the initial seven chapters. This is often a two-semester course. (The word "Applied" in this title distinguishes this volume from the shorter edition.)The book introduces calculus in real-world contexts; the primary goal is to provide a sound, intuitive understanding of basic concepts students need as they pursue careers in business, the life sciences and the social sciences.

This accessible, and reader-friendly introduction to applied calculus prepares readers to deal with calculus topics when they are encountered in a variety of areas. The emphasis throughout is on computational skills, ideas, and problem solving--rather than on mathematical theory. Most derivations and proofs are omitted except where their inclusion adds significant insight into a particular concept, and general concepts and results are usually presented only after particular cases have been discussed. There are over 370 numbered worked examples, and most sections contain applied exercises from business and economics, life sciences, and social sciences. A Beginning Library of Elementary Functions. Additional Elementary Functions. The Derivative. Graphing and Optimization. Additional Derivative Topics. Integration. Additional Integration. Multivariable Calculus. Differential Equations. Taylor Polynomials and Infinite Series. Probability and Calculus. Trigonometric Functions Review. For anyone who needs a proficiency in calculus in their work in business, economics, social sciences, or life sciences.
