This text is written for today's technology student, with an accessible, intuitive approach and an emphasis on applications of calculus to technology. The text's presentation of concepts is clear and concise, with examples worked in great detail, enhanced by marginal annotations, and supported with step-by-step procedures whenever possible. Another powerful enhancement is the use of a functional second color to help explain steps. Differential and integral calculus are introduced in the first five chapters, while more advanced topics, such as differential equations and LaPlace transforms, are covered in later chapters. This organization allows the text to be used in a variety of technology programs.
Well-conceived text with many special features covers functions and graphs, straight lines and conic sections, new coordinate systems, the derivative, much more. Many examples, exercises, practice problems, with answers. Advanced undergraduate/graduate-level. 1984 edition.
Excerpt from Analytic Geometry for Colleges, Universities, and Technical Schools This text-book is designed for Colleges, Universities, and Technical Schools. The aim of the author has been to prepare a work for beginners, and at the same time to make it sufficiently comprehensive for the requirements of the usual undergraduate course. For the methods of development of the various principles he has drawn largely upon his experience in the class-room. In the preparation of the work all authors, home and foreign, whose works were available, have been freely consulted. In the first few chapters elementary examples follow the discussion of each principle. In the subsequent chapters sets of examples appear at intervals throughout each chapter, and are so arranged as to partake both of the nature of a review and an extension of the preceding principles. At the end of each chapter general examples, involving a more extended application of the principles deduced, are placed for the benefit of those who may desire a higher course in the subject. The author takes pleasure in calling attention to a "Discussion of Surfaces," by A. L. Nelson, M.A., Professor of Mathematics in Washington and Lee University, which appears as the final chapter in this work.
