Mathematics Understanding Calculus A User’s Guide A volume in the IEEE Press Understanding Science & Technology Series The subject of calculus does not usually evoke adjectives like "simple" and "concise." Traditional calculus texts have involved a more comprehensive, theoretical approach than is appropriate for those learning this critically important subject for its utilitarian value. This succinct, innovative text:

• Presents the standard material of single–variable calculus in a simple and concise manner.
• Explains essential calculus concepts through simple geometric and physical examples rather than formal proofs.
• Teaches future engineers the essential calculus they will need to succeed in their profession, making it an eminently suitable text for two–term calculus courses taught in schools of engineering.
• Provides engineering professionals with a ready resource for the calculus techniques they may have forgotten.
• Makes calculus accessible to readers whose prior knowledge may only include high school algebra, but who need to utilize calculus for academic or professional advancement.
