First Semester Calculus for Students of Mathematics and Related Disciplines equips students with a strong working knowledge of the fundamental principles of calculus, providing an engaging and accessible entry point into this critical field of study. It prepares students for more advanced courses in calculus and also helps them understand how to apply basic principles of calculus to solve problems within a wide range of disciplines, including business, biology, engineering, science, liberal arts and, of course, mathematics.
The text employs rigorous treatment of early calculus topics and detailed explanations to facilitate deeper understanding of later material. Over the course of five chapters, students learn about symbolic logic, continuity and limits, derivatives, antiderivatives, and applications of each. Throughout, students are provided with rich guidance and copious opportunities to deepen their personal understanding of the subject matter.
In the second edition, a more efficient layout better highlights major theorems and definitions. Additionally, over 300 new exercises have been added to further aid student learning.
Highly readable and innovative, yet pedagogically solid and very applicable, First Semester Calculus for Students of Mathematics and Related Disciplines is an ideal resource for a variety of courses that apply concepts of calculus to solve mathematical and real-world problems.
