More About the Author

Soo T. Tan, Professor of Mathematics at Stonehill College, has published numerous papers in Optimal Control Theory and Numerical Analysis. He received his S.B. degree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, his M.S. degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and his Ph.D. from the University of California at Los Angeles. "One of the most important lessons I learned from my early experience teaching these courses is that many of the students come into these courses with some degree of apprehension. This awareness led to the intuitive approach I have adopted in all of my texts."

This review is from: Student Solutions Manual for Tan's Applied Calculus for the Managerial, Life, and Social Sciences, 6th (Paperback)

This book may have saved my sanity. I am completely math dumb! And to even think I can do calculus was just never a thought. So when I had to take the class to graduate I cried! I bought this book and poured everything I have into studying it over and over. I passed the class and never have to take calculus again!

This review is from: Applied Calculus for the Managerial, Life, and Social Sciences (with CengageNOW and Personal Tutor Printed Access Card) (Hardcover)

Book was easy to understand when learning the material. The answers were kind of harder to read because some answers were simplified and some weren't, but the problems were of the same context.
