"The third edition of this ground-breaking text continues the authors' goal - a targeted introduction to precalculus that carefully balances concepts with procedures. Overall, this text is designed to provide a solid foundation to precalculus that focuses on a small number of key topics thereby emphasizing depth of understanding rather than breath of coverage. Developed by the Calculus Consortium, FMC 3e is flexible enough to be thought- ..."
"APPLIED CALCULUS, 3/E brings together the best of both new and traditional curricula to meet the needs of today's students. The author team's extensive teaching experience and proven ability to write innovative and relevant problems has made this text a true bestseller. Exciting new real-world applications make this new edition even more meaningful to students in management, life and social sciences. This book will work well for those d ..."
"The new edition exhibits the same strengths from earlier editions including the Rule of Four, an emphasis on modeling, exposition that students can read and understand and a flexible approach to technology. The conceptual and modeling problems, praised for their creativity and variety, continue to motivate and challenge students. "
"Deborah Hughes-Hallett, Andrew M. Gleason, William G. McCallum ... There are
many situations where you may not be able to find an exact solution to a problem,
but can use a calculator or computer to get a reasonable approximation. An
answer obtained this way is usually just as useful ... For the first time, I was able
to see how everything works together That was a student at the University of
Arizona who took calculus in Fall 1990 ..."

"... Brad G. Osgood, Douglas Quinney, Wayne Raskind, Jeff Tecosky-Feldman,
Joe B. Thrash, Thomas W. Tucker. So, since [(3 + b ) x c] • d — [(a x c) + (b x c)] • d
, then [(3 +6) X c] • d - [(a x c) + (b x c)] • d = 0, Since the dot product is distributive,
we have [((3 +6) x c) - (3 x c) - (6 x c)] • d = 0. Since this equation is true for all
vectors d , by letting d = ((3 + 6 ) x c) — (3 x c) — (6 x c), we get and hence Thus [
a +b) ..."
