This is a college algebra-level textbook written to provide the kind of mathematical knowledge and experiences that students will need for courses in other fields, such as biology, chemistry, business, finance, economics, and other areas that are heavily dependent on data either from laboratory experiments or from other studies. The focus is on the fundamental mathematical concepts and the realistic problem-solving via mathematical modeling rather than the development of algebraic skills that might be needed in calculus. Functions, Data, and Models presents college algebra in a way that differs from almost all college algebra books available today. Rather than going over material covered in high school courses the Gordons teach something new. Students are given an introduction to data analysis and mathematical modeling presented at a level that students with limited algebraic skills can understand. The book contains a rich set of exercises, many of which use real data. Also included are thought experiments or what if questions that are meant to stretch the student's mathematical thinking.

Striking a balance between concepts, modeling, and skills, this highly acclaimed book arms readers with an accessible introduction to calculus. It builds on the strengths from previous editions, presenting key concepts graphically, numerically, symbolically, and verbally. Guided by this innovative Rule of Four approach, the fourth edition examines new topics while providing readers with a strong conceptual understanding of the material.

Concepts are presented graphically, numerically, and algebraically to give students the benefit of several interpretations. The book is problem driven and features exceptional exercises based on real-world applications for management, life and social science students. Technology is used as a tool to help students visualize the concepts and learn to think mathematically. Contains the main ideas of calculus in a clear, simple manner to improve students' understanding and encourage them to read the examples.

A revision of the best selling innovative Calculus text on the market. Functions are presented graphically, numerically, algebraically, and verbally to give readers the benefit of alternate interpretations. The text is problem driven with exceptional exercises based on real world applications from engineering, physics, life sciences, and economics. Revised edition features new sections on limits and continuity, limits, l'Hopital's Rule, and relative growth rates, and hyperbolic functions.

A Student Solutions Manual to accompany Applied Calculus, 7th Edition In Applied Calculus, Student Solutions Manual, 7th Edition, a team of distinguished educators engage students with well-constructed problems and solutions to deepen understanding.ï¿1?2 The Rule of Four approach is supported in the manual, where problems are solved graphically, numerically, symbolically, and verbally. Students will learn to reduce problems to straightforward procedures while discovering the practical value of mathematics.

The Student Solutions Manual to Calculus Calculus teachers recognize this book as the leading resource among the reform projects that employ the rule of four and streamline the curriculum in order to deepen conceptual understanding. This edition uses all strands of the “Rule of Four” — graphical, numeric, symbolic/algebraic, and verbal/applied presentations — to make concepts easier to understand. The book focuses on exploring fundamental ideas rather than comprehensive coverage of multiple similar cases that are not fundamentally unique.
