For one- or two-semester courses in Calculus for students majoring
in business, social sciences, and life sciences. Intuition before
Formality Calculus & Its Applications builds intuition with key
concepts of calculus before the analytical material. For example,
the authors explain the derivative geometrically before they
present limits, and they introduce the definite integral
intuitively via the notion of net change before they discuss
Riemann sums. The strategic organization of topics makes it easy to
adjust the level of theoretical material covered. The significant
applications introduced early in the course serve to motivate
students and make the mathematics more accessible. Another unique
aspect of the text is its intuitive use of differential equations
to model a variety of phenomena in Chapter 5, which addresses
applications of exponential and logarithmic functions. Time-tested,
comprehensive exercise sets are flexible enough to align with each
instructor's needs, and new exercises and resources in MyLab (TM)
Math help develop not only skills, but also conceptual
understanding, visualization, and applications. The 14th Edition
features updated exercises, applications, and technology coverage,
presenting calculus in an intuitive yet intellectually satisfying
way. Also available with MyLab Math MyLab (TM) Math is an online
homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to work with
this text to engage students and improve results. Within its
structured environment, students practice what they learn, test
their understanding, and pursue a personalized study plan that
helps them absorb course material and understand difficult
concepts. In the new edition, MyLab Math has expanded to include a
suite of new videos, Interactive Figures, exercises that require
step-by-step solutions, conceptual questions, calculator support,
and more. Note: You are purchasing a standalone product; MyLab does
not come packaged with this content. Students, if interested in
purchasing this title with MyLab, ask your instructor for the
correct package ISBN and Course ID. Instructors, contact your

Books a la Carte are unbound, three-hole-punch versions of the
textbook. This lower cost option is easy to transport and comes
with same access code or media that would be packaged with the
bound book. Calculus and Its Applications, Thirteenth Edition is a
comprehensive, yet flexible, text for students majoring in
business, economics, life science, or social sciences. The authors
delve into greater mathematical depth than other texts while
motivating students through relevant, up-to-date, applications
drawn from students' major fields of study. The authors motivate
key ideas geometrically and intuitively, providing a solid
foundation for the more abstract treatments that follow. Every
chapter includes a large quantity of exceptional exercises--a
hallmark of this text--that address skills, applications, concepts,
and technology. The Thirteenth Edition includes updated
applications, exercises, and technology coverage. The authors have
also added more study tools, including a prerequisite skills
diagnostic test and a greatly improved end-of-chapter summary, and
made content improvements based on user reviews.
