This extremely readable, highly regarded, and widely adopted text presents innovative ways for applying calculus to real-world situations in the business, economics, life science, and social science disciplines. The texts' straightforward, engaging approach fosters the growth of both the student's mathematical maturity and his/her appreciation for the usefulness of mathematics. The authors' tried and true formula pairing substantial amounts of graphical analysis and informal geometric proofs with an abundance of hands-on exercises has proven to be tremendously successful with both students and instructors.
For one-semester courses in Applied Calculus. Anticipating and meeting student needs Calculus and Its Applications, Brief Version remains a best-selling text because of its intuitive approach that anticipates student needs, and a writing style that pairs clear explanations with carefully crafted figures to help students visualize concepts. Key enhancements in the 12th Edition include the earlier introduction of logarithmic and exponential functions to help students master these important functions and their applications. The text's accompanying MyLab(tm) Math course also has been revised substantially, as new co-author Gene Kramer (University of Cincinnati, Blue Ash) revisited every homework question and learning aid to improve content clarity and accuracy. These and all other aspects of the new edition are designed to motivate and help students more readily understand and apply principles of calculus.

Since its introduction in 1972, Stein’s method has offered a completely novel way of evaluating the quality of normal approximations. Through its characterizing equation approach, it is able to provide approximation error bounds in a wide variety of situations, even in the presence of complicated dependence. Use of the method thus opens the door to the analysis of random phenomena arising in areas including statistics, physics, and molecular biology. Though Stein's method for normal approximation is now mature, the literature has so far lacked a complete self contained treatment. This volume contains thorough coverage of the method’s fundamentals, includes a large number of recent developments in both theory and applications, and will help accelerate the appreciation, understanding, and use of Stein's method by providing the reader with the tools needed to apply it in new situations. It addresses researchers as well as graduate students in Probability, Statistics and Combinatorics.
Features detailed explanations and solutions to every sixth exercise in the text. Includes helpful hints and strategies for studying in this course. In addition, Visual Calculus, the popular, easy-to-use software for IBM compatible computers is included.
