Calculus: Concepts and Applications - Student Edition (includes online access)

<P>The acclaimed Calculus: Concepts and Applications is now available in a new edition, revised to reflect important changes in the Advanced Placement curriculum, and updated to incorporate feedback from instructors throughout the U.S.</P> <P></P> <P>With over 40 years of experience teaching AP Calculus, Paul Foerster developed Calculus: Concepts and Applications with the high school student in mind, but with all the content of a college-level course. Like the previous edition, the second edition follows the AP Calculus curriculum for both AB and BC levels.</P> <P></P> <P>In Calculus: Concepts and Applications, students start off with calculus! Review of precalculus occurs at various points when it€s needed. The text combines graphing-calculator technology with a unique, real-world application approach, and presents calculus as a study of just four fundamental concepts: limits, derivatives, definite integrals, and indefinite integrals. Students learn these concepts using algebraic, numerical, graphical, and verbal approaches. As a result, students with a wider range of abilities can be successful in calculus, not just those who are strong in algebra. The accompanying set of Explorations in the Instructor€s Resource Book, designed for cooperative group work, gives students hands-on experience with new topics before they are formally introduced.</P> <P>In this new edition, derivatives of transcendental functions, related rates, as well as area and volume applications of the definite integral are introduced earlier. Additionally, the Instructor€s Resource Book includes projects utilizing the CBL„, The Geometer€s Sketchpad , and Fathom Dynamic Statistics„ software, giving students extended opportunities to explore and understand calculus in depth.</P> <P></P> <P> </P>
