For two-semester courses in Calculus.

Helps students “get the idea.”

Calculus for Business, Economics, Life Sciences, and Social Sciences, 14th Edition offers more built-in guidance than any other text in its field – with special emphasis on applications and prerequisite skills – and a host of student-friendly features to help students catch up or learn on their own. The text’s emphasis on helping students “get the idea” is enhanced in the new edition by a design refresh and updated data and applications.

Features:

– Matched Problems accompanying each of the more than 300 worked examples to

help students grasp concepts and assess their understanding

– Explore and Discuss problems that help to introduce new concepts or build upon a

current topic

– Exercise sets differentiated by level of difficulty that allow instructors to craft

assignments according to their students’ levels

– Additional Conceptual Questions to assess concepts and vocabulary

– Setup & Solve exercises that require students to show how they set up a

problem along with the solution

– Interactive Figures that illustrate key concepts and allow manipulation
