College algebra and calculus : an applied approach

Abstract

This textbook completes the publication of a whole series of textbooks tailored to the needs of college algebra and applied calculus students majoring in business, life science, and social science courses. Many students take college algebra as a prerequisite for applied calculus. We wrote all of these books using the same design, writing style, and pedagogical features, with the goal of providing these students with a level of familiarity that encourages confidence and a smooth transition between the courses. Additionally,by combiningthe college algebra and applied calculus material into one textbook,we have given students one comprehensive resource for both courses.
