Calculus for the Management, Life and Social Sciences

This text introduces business, biology, allied health, behavioural, and social science students to the basic concepts and techniques of calculus. Intended for use in a one-semester course, it implements an applications-oriented apporach. Coverage of topics such as trigonometric and curve sketching are included but left as optional to make the text more flexible. A brief algebra review is provided in Chapter 0: a more complete review is in the appendix.
