More About the Author
Product Description
Synopsis
Updated and expanded to include the optional use of graphing calculators, this combination textbook-workbook is a good teach-yourself refresher course for men and women who took a calculus course in school, have since forgotten most of what they learned, and now need some practical calculus for business purposes or advanced education. The book is also very useful as a supplementary text for students who are taking calculus and finding it a struggle. Each progressive work unit offers clear instruction and worked-out examples. Special emphasis has been placed on business and economic applications. Topics covered include functions and their graphs, derivatives, optimization problems, exponential and logarithmic functions, integration, and partial derivatives.

Format:Paperback
When I decided to pursue my engineering degree I discovered that I needed to take calculus-1 and 2. I had already taken calculus-1, but that was over 7 years ago. I then realized I'd "FORGOTTEN CALCULUS". This book was for me, literally. Anyone who desires a calculus review, or would like to learn on their own, should pick up this text. A basic knowledge of algebra is all that is really required. The algebraic review, in the first 9 lessons (out of 28), makes the transition to calculus a breeze. The author is careful to not take anything for granted, and never goes off on tangents (ha ha). The worked out examples have a natural progression that makes sense of the entire problem, not just the answer. The problems and exercises, which you work out yourself, are very comprehensive and appropriate. All the answers are given so that you can check your work. This book rocks!

Found this book to be excellent as an introduction. Clear introductions and build-up to sections and progressively harder test excercises to finish with leave you feeling empowered. The sections on differentiation feel very complete but the sections on integration feels a little rushed. Suppose that is because it is impossible to cover every single integration formula. Highly recommended. Also recommend Forgotten Algebra as a foundation.

I'am studying with the Open University in England, hoping for a Bsc. This book is so easy to read and follow, it has helped me no end. I would, and already have recommended it. Well done for a book well written. The forgotten ALGEBRA is just as good.

A truly excellent choice for the business-oriented reader
This book provides a gentle review of differential and integral calculus. About 2/3rds of the material is devoted to differential calculus. Read more

This book makes business calculus easy.
The author explains calculus in a clear and simple way which is really helpful. I am taking a college business calculus course and the required text book is not helpful at all. Read more
