Full of relevant and current real-world applications; Stefan Waner and Steven Costenoble’s APPLIED CALCULUS; 5e; International Edition helps your students relate to mathematics! Throughout the text is clearly delineated; thorough Microsoft® Excel® and Graphing Calculator instruction; optional so instructors can include any amount of technology instruction in their courses. Acclaimed for accuracy and readability; APPLIED CALCULUS; 5e; International Edition connects with all types of teaching and learning styles. Resources like the accompanying website allow the text to support a range of course formats; from traditional lectures to strictly online courses.
Stefan Waner and Steven R. Costenoble both received their Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, having studied several years apart with the same advisor, J. Peter May. Their paths merged when Steven joined Stefan at Hofstra University in 1987; since then they have coauthored 18 research papers as well as a research-level monograph in algebraic topology. By the early 1990s they had become dissatisfied with many of the Finite Mathematics and Applied Calculus textbooks. They wanted textbooks that were more readable and relevant to students' interests, containing examples and exercises that were interesting, and reflected the interactive approaches and techniques they found worked well with their own students. It therefore seemed natural to extend their research collaboration to a joint textbook writing project that expressed these ideals. To this day, they continue to work together on their textbook projects, their research in algebraic topology, and their teaching. Stefan Waner and Steven R.
