This text integrates applications, concepts, technology and history to present calculus to students who are not maths specialists. Special emphasis is placed on applications, the geometric approach and graphing calculators. Real-world problems allow students to explore calculus in their field of study, promoting the usability of mathematical concepts. The book includes graphing calculators as natural extensions of real world applications problems, clarifiying fundamental maths ideas. Geometric approach gives students the ability to approach calculus from a geometric approach, as well as from an algebraic approach. The book offers four types of exercise problems which aim to enhance standard exercises and allow instructors to combine several types of problems or choose the type best suited for their course. The text is intended for students of calculus, mathematics and engineering.
