Features the techniques, methods, and applications of calculus using real-world examples from business and economics as well as the life and social sciences An introduction to differential and integral calculus, Fundamentals of Calculus presents key topics suited for a variety of readers in fields ranging from entrepreneurship and economics to environmental and social sciences. Practical examples from a variety of subject areas are featured throughout each chapter and step-by-step explanations for the solutions are presented. Specific techniques are also applied to highlight important information in each section, including symbols interspersed throughout to further reader comprehension. In addition, the book illustrates the elements of finite calculus with the varied formulas for power, quotient, and product rules that correlate markedly with traditional calculus. Featuring calculus as the “mathematics of change,” each chapter concludes with a historical notes section. Fundamentals of Calculus chapter coverage includes: Linear Equations and Functions The Derivative Using the Derivative Exponents and Logarithms Differentiation Techniques Integral Calculus Integrations Techniques Functions of Several Variables Series and Summations Applications to Probability Supplemented with online instructional support materials, Fundamentals of Calculus is an ideal textbook for undergraduate students majoring in business, economics, biology, chemistry, and environmental science.

"Published by OpenStax College, Calculus is designed for the typical two- or three-semester general calculus course, incorporating innovative features to enhance student learning. The book guides students through the core concepts of calculus and helps them understand how those concepts apply to their lives and the world around them. Due to the comprehensive nature of the material, we are offering the book in three volumes for flexibility and efficiency. Volume 2 covers integration, differential equations, sequences and series, and parametric equations and polar coordinates."--BC Campus website.

Calculus is a branch of mathematics that studies continuous change. It can be divided into the two branches of differential and integral calculus. The principles of limits and infinitesimals, the fundamental theorem of calculus and the convergence of infinite sequences and infinite series are fundamental to the development of calculus. Current studies in this field are in the areas of reformulations of calculus such as non-standard calculus, smooth infinitesimal analysis and constructive analysis. An understanding of this domain is crucial for developing a functional approach to advanced mathematical analysis. Besides advancing the frontiers of advanced mathematics, calculus is also instrumental in science, engineering and economics. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of calculus. Some of the diverse topics covered herein address the varied branches that fall under this category. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make this textbook an invaluable source of knowledge.

Fundamentals of Calculus for Teachers helps readers connect the dots between key calculus concepts and the mathematics content taught in the middle grades, namely fourth through eighth grade in the United States. The text prepares future instructors to fully understand the mathematical content taught in lower and higher grades, build upon the knowledge their students will bring to the classroom, and prepare students for study of more advanced topics. The book

Vector calculus is an essential mathematical tool for performing mathematical analysis of physical and natural phenomena. It is employed in advanced applications in the field of engineering and computer simulations. This textbook covers the fundamental requirements of vector calculus in curricula for college students in mathematics and engineering programs. Chapters start from the basics of vector algebra, real valued functions, different forms of integrals, geometric algebra and the various theorems relevant to vector calculus and differential forms. Readers will find a concise and clear study of vector calculus, along with several examples, exercises, and a case study in each chapter. The solutions to the exercises are also included at the end of the book. This is an ideal book for students with a basic background in mathematics who wish to learn about advanced calculus as part of their college curriculum and equip themselves with the knowledge to apply theoretical concepts in practical situations.

Calculus for Engineering Students: Fundamentals, Real Problems, and Computers insists that mathematics cannot be separated from chemistry, mechanics, electricity, electronics, automation, and other disciplines. It emphasizes interdisciplinary problems as a way to show the importance of calculus in engineering tasks and problems. While concentrating on actual problems instead of theory, the book uses Computer Algebra Systems (CAS) to help students incorporate lessons into their own studies. Assuming a working familiarity with calculus concepts, the book provides a hands-on opportunity for students to increase their calculus and mathematics skills while also learning about engineering applications. - Organized around project-based rather than traditional homework-based learning - Reviews basic mathematics and theory while also introducing applications - Employs uniform chapter sections that encourage the comparison and contrast of different areas of engineering

This textbook teaches the fundamentals of calculus, keeping points clear, succinct and focused, with plenty of diagrams and practice but relatively few words. It assumes a very basic knowledge but revises the key prerequisites before moving on. Definitions are highlighted for easy understanding and reference, and worked examples illustrate the explanations. Chapters are interwoven with exercises, whilst each chapter also ends with a comprehensive set of exercises, with answers in the back of the book. Introductory paragraphs describe the real-world application of each topic, and also include briefly where relevant any interesting historical facts about the development of the mathematical subject. This text is intended for undergraduate students in engineering taking a course in calculus. It works for the Foundation and 1st year levels. It has a companion volume Foundation Algebra.
