Published 21 August 1992
Designed to promote an actual understanding of calculus as well as a real sense of how math is used in our technological age. At every stage it stresses the meaning in practical, graphical or numerical terms of the symbols students are using and the main concepts of calculus are described in plain English. Differential equations, exponential functions, the definite integral and its applications are among the topics covered. Includes problem sets, many of which are open-ended.
