Technical Mathematics with Calculus, 3E

This version of Technical Mathematics with Calculus, 3E includes formal calculus concepts that are comprehensive in scope to help students prepare for technical, engineering technology, or scientific careers. Thorough coverage of precalculus topics provides a solid base for the presentation of more formal calculus concepts later in the book. This edition retains its easy-to-understand writing style and offers myriad application-oriented exercises and examples that will help students learn to use mathematics and technology in situations related to their future work. A companion web page has additional material for both faculty and students.

This enormous textbook for technical colleges covers algebra, geometry, trigonometry, analytic geometry, introductory statistics, calculus, and differential equations, and illustrates their application in business, electronics, construction, and physical science. The third edition adds a chapter on intuitive calculus and sections on modeling and statistical process control. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
