Applied calculus 4th Edition by Deborah Hughes Hallett

Applied calculus 4th Edition by Deborah Hughes HallettISBN: 9780470170526Calculus is one of the greatest achievements of the human intellect. Inspired by problems in astronomy,Newton and Leibniz developed the ideas of calculus 300 years ago. Since then, each century has demonstratedthe power of calculus to illuminate questions in mathematics, the physical sciences, engineering, and thesocial and biological sciences.Calculus has been so successful because of its extraordinary power to reduce complicated problems tosimple rules and procedures. Therein lies the danger in teaching calculus: it is possible to teach the subject asnothing but the rules and procedures?thereby losing sight of both the mathematics and of its practical value.This edition of Applied Calculus continues our effort to promote courses in which understanding reinforcescomputation.
