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.
