An easy-to-understand primer on advanced calculus topics
Calculus II is a prerequisite for many popular college majors, including pre-med, engineering, and physics. Calculus II For Dummies offers expert instruction, advice, and tips to help second semester calculus students get a handle on the subject and ace their exams. It covers intermediate calculus topics in plain English, featuring in-depth coverage of integration, including substitution, integration techniques and when to use them, approximate integration, and improper integrals. This hands-on guide also covers sequences and series, with introductions to multivariable calculus, differential equations, and numerical analysis. Best of all, it includes practical exercises designed to simplify and enhance understanding of this complex subject.
A brief narrative description of the journal article, document, or resource. This book contains about 200 problems. It is suggested that it be used by students, teachers or anyone interested in exploring mathematics. In addition to a general discussion on problem solving, there are problems concerned with number theory, algebra, geometry, and combinatorics.
This is a book on Euclidean geometry that covers the standard material in a completely new way, while also introducing a number of new topics that would be suitable as a junior-senior level undergraduate textbook. The author does not begin in the traditional manner with abstract geometric axioms. Instead, he assumes the real numbers, and begins his treatment by introducing such modern concepts as a metric space, vector space notation, and groups, and thus lays a rigorous basis for geometry while at the same time giving the student tools that will be useful in other courses.
The aim of this book is to outline the recent development of Markov chain models for modeling queueing systems, Internet, re-manufacturing systems, inventory systems, DNA sequences, genetic networks and many other practical systems.
Precalculus with Trigonometryprepares students for calculus by using methods emphasizing technology, cooperative learning, real-world applications, and student discovery to instill the concept that variables really vary. Students use the law of cosines to model the position of an orbiting satellite, rather than simply to analyze a fixed triangle. They fit functions to data, returning to recurring themes such as outer space, sports, music, aviation, automobiles, and finance as their mathematical maturity develops.
