Description
APPLIED CALCULUS FOR THE MANAGERIAL, LIFE, AND SOCIAL SCIENCES: A BRIEF APPROACH, Tenth Edition balances modern applications, solid pedagogy, and the latest technology to engage students and keep them motivated in the course. Suitable for majors and non-majors alike, the text uses an intuitive approach that teaches concepts through examples drawn from real-life situations from students' fields of interest. In addition, insightful Portfolios highlight the careers of real people and discuss how they incorporate math into their daily professional activities. Numerous exercises, including a Diagnostic Test, ensure that students have a concrete understanding of concepts before advancing to the next topic. The text's pedagogical features coupled with an exciting array of supplements equip students with the tools they need to make the most of their study time and to succeed in the course.

Features

Motivating real-world applications: Included in the 10th edition are more than 100 new and updated modern applications to motivate students and to illustrate the relevance of mathematics in everyday life. Topics include: Mobile Devise Usage; U.S. Public Debt; Outsourcing of Jobs; Inflation; Bank Failures; Social Networks; Gini Index; and Isoquants.

Portfolio features outlining the real-life experiences of a variety of professionals who use mathematics in the workplace. Among those interviewed are the Senior Vice President of Supply at Earthbound Farms and a Principal Software Engineer at Iron Mountain.

Technology experiences: "Modeling with Data" exercises appear in many of the Using Technology subsections, giving students an inside look at how the author constructed the functions found in the exercises.

Algebra review when you need it: A Diagnostic Test at the start of the Preliminaries chapter offers students a chance to see which algebra skills they need to review before beginning regular coursework. Additionally, algebra review notes, keyed to the Preliminaries chapter, appear where you need them, when you need them.

Study Tabs that work: Convenient color-coded Study Tabs, similar to Post-It® notes, make it easy for students to flag pages that they want to revisit later.

Flexibility: Optional coverage offers instructors different ways to tailor technology to their course needs. For example, "Using Technology" sections show how graphing utilities can facilitate the analysis and solution of complicated problems. "Exploring with Technology" questions emerge throughout the text in special boxes. And, "Modeling with Data" exercises feature in many of the "Using Technology" subsections, showing students how some of the functions found in the exercises are constructed.

Concept mastery: Section exercise sets include "Concept" questions, and chapter reviews contain fill-in-the-blank "Concept Review" questions to check students'' understanding of key concepts. Additional routine and true-false questions have been added as well.

Thorough: Detailed illustrations support examples and exercises, ensuring student understanding. "Explore and Discuss" questions take concepts a step further and spark student discussion. Other pedagogical tools that help students master the material include: "Self-Check" exercises in every section, "Notes" to clarify more mathematical ideas, "Cautions" highlighting common pitfalls, and more.

Soo T. Tan has published numerous papers in Optimal Control Theory and Numerical Analysis. He received his S.B. degree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, his M.S. degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and his Ph.D. from the University of California at Los Angeles. "One of the most important lessons I learned from my early experience teaching these courses is that many of the students come into these courses with some degree of apprehension. This awareness led to the intuitive approach I have adopted in all of my texts."
