A major complaint of professors teaching calculus is that students don't have the appropriate background to work through the calculus course... successfully. This text is targeted directly at this underprepared audience.

This is the ideal resource for those schools dealing with poorly prepared students or for schools introducing a slower paced, integrated precalculus/calculus course.

Application-oriented introduction relates the subject as closely as possible to science. In-depth explorations of the derivative, the differentiation... and integration of the powers of x, theorems on differentiation and antidifferentiation, the chain rule and examinations of trigonometric functions, logarithmic and exponential functions, techniques of integration, polar coordinates, much more. Examples. 1967 edition. Solution guide available upon request.

Drawing on their decades of teaching experience, William Briggs and Lyle Cochran have created a calculus text that carries the teacher’s voice beyond... the classroom. That voice–evident in the narrative, the figures, and the questions interspersed in the narrative–is a master teacher leading readers to deeper levels of understanding. The authors appeal to readers’ geometric intuition to introduce fundamental concepts and lay the foundation for the more rigorous development that follows. Comprehensive exercise sets have received praise for their creativity, quality, and scope.
