Synopsis

Calculus without Limits is an original exposition of single-variable calculususing the classic differential approach. Written in an engaging, popular styleby an award-winning teacher, Calculus without Limits is thefirst completely new calculus book tohit the shelves in 95 years that deliberately minimizes the useof limits, one of the major stumbling blocks initially standing in the way ofcalculus students. Calculus without Limits presents its subject in nine chapters: 1) 'Introduction', 2) 'Barrow'sDiagram', 3) 'The Two Fundamental Problems of Calculus', 4) 'Foundations', 5)'Solving the First Problem', 6) 'Antiprocesses', 7) 'Solving the SecondProblem', 8) 'Sampling the Power of Differential Equations', and 9)'Conclusion: Magnificent Shoulders'. Approximately 85 diagrams and a plethoraof worked examples help facilitate student understanding in an exposition thatmeasures a mere 330 pages from cover to cover. Real-life applications examineproblems from a variety of disciplines ranging from physics to finance. Additionally,Calculus without Limits provides plenty of practice for the beginning calculusstudent via 200 exercises from routine to quite challenging-all answered in an'Answer to Problems' section in the back of the book. Five appendices summarizekey formulas from various mathematical disciplines, and a brief one-page bibliographycompletes the book. Calculus without Limits is suitable as a self-study text or as supplementarytext augmenting a regular multi-term college calculus sequence. It can alsoserve as the primary text for a one-term Business Calculus or Calculus forAppreciation Course. Advanced High School Students will find it ideal forquickly mastering calculus basics before engaging a more rigorous collegeoffering. Lastly, Calculus without Limits is meant for all those peoplewho really never learned the why behind calculus, and now, many yearslater-perhaps as a practicing professional-may want to reacquaint themselveswith an old academic friend for th
