Book Description
Applied Calculus for Business, Economics, and the Social and Life Sciences, Expanded Tenth Edition; Applied Calculus for Business, Economics, and the Social and Life Sciences; (PDF) provides students with a sound and intuitive understanding of the essential principles they require as they pursue careers in the fields of business, the social sciences, and the life sciences, as well as an introduction to calculus via the lens of real-world circumstances. Differential equations, probability, infinite series and Taylor approximations, and trigonometric functions are the subjects of the four new chapters that have been added to this edition. The new tenth edition builds on the basic writing style, practical applications from a wide range of disciplines, explicit step-by-step problem-solving procedures, and complete practice sets that have been trademarks of the popularity of Hoffmann/throughout Bradley’s the years.
