Designed specifically for the non-math major who will be using calculus in business, economics, or life and social science courses, Calculus: An Applied Approach, 7/e, addresses students' weak math skills through added structure and guidance on how to study math. Special student-success-oriented sections include chapter-opening Strategies for Success; What You Should Learn--and Why You Should Learn It; Section Objectives; Chapter Summaries and Study Strategies; Try Its; Study Tips; and Warm-Up exercises. In addition the text presents Algebra Tips at point of use and Algebra Review at the end of each chapter. A strong support package includes the CL MATHSpace CD-ROM--which further emphasizes algebra review--and Instructional DVDs that allow students to review material outside of class. - See more at: http://www.powells.com/biblio?isbn=0618958258#sthash.lJ5OxdX6.dpuf
