"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."
