Synopsis
Updated and expanded to include the optional use of graphing calculators, this combination textbook-workbook is a good teach-yourself refresher course for men and women who took a calculus course in school, have since forgotten most of what they learned, and now need some practical calculus for business purposes or advanced education. The book is also very useful as a supplementary text for students who are taking calculus and finding it a struggle. Each progressive work unit offers clear instruction and worked-out examples. Special emphasis has been placed on business and economic applications. Topics covered include functions and their graphs, derivatives, optimization problems, exponential and logarithmic functions, integration, and partial derivatives.

Customer Reviews

Excellent intro to calculus
Found this book to be excellent as an introduction. Clear introductions and build-up to sections and progressively harder test excercises to finish with leave you feeling empowered. The sections on differentiation feel very complete but the sections on integration feels a little rushed. Suppose that is because it is impossible to cover every single integration formula. Highly recommended. Also recommend Forgotten Algebra as a foundation.

Execellant for further adult education
I'am studying with the Open University in England, hoping for a Bsc. This book is so easy to read and follow, it has helped me no end. I would, and already have recommended it. Well done for a book well written. The forgotten ALGEBRA is just as good.

This book makes business calculus easy.
The author explains calculus in a clear and simple way which is really helpful. I am taking a college business calculus course and the required text book is not helpful at all. I believe Forgotten Calculus will help me get through this tough class.
