| Publisher Description: This book continues the material in two early Fast Start calculus volumes to include multivariate calculus, sequences and series, and a variety of additional applications. These include partial derivatives and the optimization techniques that arise from them, including Lagrange multipliers. Volumes of rotation, arc length, and surface area are included in the additional applications of integration. Using multiple integrals, including computing volume and center of mass, is covered. The book concludes with an initial treatment of sequences, series, power series, and Taylor's series, including techniques of function approximation. |
Contributor Bio(s): Krantz, Steven G.: - Washington University, St. LouisAshlock, Daniel: - Daniel Ashlock is a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Guelph. He has a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the California Institute of Technology, 1990, and holds degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics from the University of Kansas, 1984. Dr. Ashlock has taught mathematics at levels from 7th grade through graduate school for four decades, starting at the age of 17. Over this time Dr. Ashlock has developed a number of ideas about how to help students overcome both fear and deficient preparation. This text, covering the mathematics portion of an integrated mathematics and physics course, has proven to be one of the more effective methods of helping students learn mathematics with physics serving as an ongoing anchor and example. |
