Calculus One With Precalculus High School Edition Plus Learning Cd
Calculus One With Precalculus High School Edition Plus Learning Cd Author:Ron Larson, Robert Hostetler, Bruce H. Edwards From the successful team of Larson, Hostetler, and Edwards comes a new text carefully developed for one-year courses that combine and integrate material from Precalculus through Calculus I. This text is ideal for instructors who wish to successfully bring students up to speed algebraically within precalculus and transition them into calculus.
P.S. Problem-Solving Sections, an additional set of thought-provoking exercises added to the end of each chapter, require students to use a variety of problem-solving skills and provide a challenging arena for students to work with calculus concepts.
Getting at the Concept Exercises in each section exercise set check students' understanding of the basic concepts. Located midway through the exercise set, they are both boxed and titled for easy reference.
Review Exercises at the end of each chapter provide students with an effective study tool. The exercises are grouped and correlated by text section, enabling students to target concepts requiring review.
The icon "IC" in the text identifies examples that appear in the Interactive Calculus 3.0 CD-ROM and Internet Calculus 2.0 web site with enhanced opportunities for exploration and visualization using the program itself and/or a Computer Algebra System.
Think About It conceptual exercises require students to use their critical-thinking skills and help them develop an intuitive understanding of the underlying theory of the calculus.
Modeling Data multi-part questions ask students to find and interpret mathematical models to fit real-life data, often through the use of a graphing utility.
Section Projects, extended applications that appear at the end of selected exercise sets, may be used for individual, collaborative, or peer-assisted assignments.
True or False? Exercises, included toward the end of many exercises sets, help students understand the logical structure of calculus and highlight concepts, common errors, and the correct statements of definitions and theorems.
Motivating the Chapter sections opening each chapter present data-driven applications that explore the concepts to be covered in the context of a real-world setting.
