This text's integrated applications and models, along with graphical and numerical procedures, motivate and explain mathematical techniques. Applied exercises are drawn from a variety of fields, including business and engineering. Numerical methods are covered early and woven throughout the text. The author uses a spiraling approach to develop more abstract concepts so students aren't overwhelmed with definitions and theorems at first.
In-text aids include: visual 3-D renderings; boxed definitions, theorems, and formulas; modeling and technology icons; and Technology Sections that provide Maple or MATLAB® commands and their outputs for example problems.
