Calculus: Concepts and Applications
A College-Level Course Developed for High School Students The acclaimed Calculus: Concepts and Applications is now available in a new edition, revised to reflect important changes in the Advanced Placement curriculum and updated to incorporate feedback from instructors throughout the U.S. With more than 40 years of experience teaching AP Calculus, Paul Foerster developed Calculus: Concepts and Applications with the high school student in mind, but incorporating all the content of a college-level course. Like the previous edition, this edition follows the AP Calculus syllabus for both AB and BC levels. A Curriculum for Student Success In Calculus: Concepts and Applications, students start off with calculus! Review of precalculus occurs when its needed. The text combines graphing-calculator technology with a unique, contextual approach and presents calculus as a study of just four fundamental concepts:- Limits
- Derivatives
- Definite integrals
- Indefinite integrals Students learn these concepts using algebraic, numeric, graphic, and verbal approaches. As a result, students with a wide range of abilities can be successful in calculus, not just those who are strong in algebra. The accompanying set of Explorations in the Instructors Resource Book, designed for cooperative-group work, gives students the opportunity to investigate new concepts before they are formally introduced. New in This Edition
* Derivatives of transcendental functions, related rates, and area and volume applications of the definite integral are introduced earlier. - The Instructors Resource Book gives students extended opportunities to explore and understand calculus in depth with projects using the Texas Instruments Calculator-Based Laboratory (CBL), The Geometers Sketchpad, and Fathom Dynamic Data software.
