Well-conceived text with many special features covers functions and graphs, straight lines and conic sections, new coordinate systems, the derivative, much more. Many examples, exercises, practice problems, with answers. Advanced undergraduate/graduate-level. 1984 edition.

This text is written for today's technology student, with an accessible, intuitive approach and an emphasis on applications of calculus to technology. The text's presentation of concepts is clear and concise, with examples worked in great detail, enhanced by marginal annotations, and supported with step-by-step procedures whenever possible. Another powerful enhancement is the use of a functional second color to help explain steps. Differential and integral calculus are introduced in the first five chapters, while more advanced topics, such as differential equations and LaPlace transforms, are covered in later chapters. This organization allows the text to be used in a variety of technology programs.

This non-rigorous, yet accurate presentation of the applications of calculus to technologies is exceptionally student-oriented. The presentation is clear and concise, the examples are worked in great detail (enhanced by marginal annotations), and step-by-step procedures are used whenever possible. While the approach is accessible and intuitive, the author has retained the TTspiritTT of the calculus by use of historical notes, interesting asides, and informal motivations.
