This hands-on guide makes calculus manageable-- even if it makes you sweat! Ryan leads you step-by-step through each concept, operation, and solution, explaining the "how" and "why" in plain English.

Offers an introduction to the principles of calculus II, covering such topics as approximate integration, substitution, improper integrals, and numerical analysis.

Many colleges and universities require students to take at least one math course, and Calculus I is often the chosen option. Calculus Essentials For Dummies provides explanations of key concepts for students who may have taken calculus in high school and want to review the most important concepts as they gear up for a faster-paced college course. Free of review and ramp-up material, Calculus Essentials For Dummies sticks to the point with content...

Calculus is the greatest mathematical breakthrough since the pioneering discoveries of the ancient Greeks. Without it, there would be no spaceflight, skyscrapers, jet planes, economic modeling, or accurate weather forecasting. One of the most powerful problem solving tools ever invented, calculus is a skill that can be learned. Its techniques are used to analyze situations involving change, to calculate optimum values, and to measure complex shapes....

El Dr. Clement E. Falbo es Profesor Emérito de Matemáticas en la Universidad Estatal de Sonoma, donde enseñó durante 35 años. Es autor de varios artículos en revistas de matemáticas, incluyendo el ampliamente leído "La Proporción Áurea: un Punto de Vista Contrario" en el College Mathematics Journal (2005). Su artículo "Teoremas Casi de Goldbach" en The Mathematical Gazette (2021) también es popular. Además de este libro de cálculo,...

McSquared introduces each concept in differential calculus in the form of a memorable character and helps readers develop their intuitive powers. A lifesaver for struggling students and a treat for the mathematically minded, the book includes helpful exercises...

Nearly 200 problems, each with a detailed, worked-out solution, deal with the properties and applications of the gamma and beta functions, Legendre polynomials, and Bessel functions. The first two chapters examine gamma and beta functions, including applications to certain geometrical and physical problems such as heat-flow in a straight wire. The following two chapters treat Legendre polynomials, addressing applications to specific series expansions,...

This rewarding text, beautifully illustrated by the author and written with superb clarity, offers undergraduate students a solid mathematical background and functions equally well for independent study. The five-part treatment begins with geometry, defining three-dimensional Euclidean space and its axioms, the coordinate system and coordinate transformation, and matrices. A review of vector algebra covers vector properties, multiplication, the resolution...
