Editorial Reviews
Review
"I love the Question and Answer paragraphs. They pinpoint key ideas and offer clear explanations of why things are done in a particular way. Moreover, as a teaching tool, the instructor can emphasize to the students that these are the types of questions they should ask themselves whenever they are reading or listening to any mathematical presentation. If they can't come up with the answers themselves, it is an indication they need more work or need to get help from their instructor."
"The greatest strength of this book is the realistic nature of examples and exercises. Obviously the authors went to a lot of effort to create these! I also think the students appreciate these books that make an earnest effort to communicate with them in a way they will find useful." "I think the idea of making Excel central to the course is the correct approach for a business oriented mathematics course."
"The Question-and-Answer segments add to the readability of the text and help bring it alive for the students. They probably don't think of questions as they read, so providing some questions further enhances the value of the book." "Applied Calculus is a breath of fresh air. It is very readable, so I can confidently assign reading to my students."
"I have been using Waner/Costenoble for several years now and have enjoyed their use of humor and useful application exercises…Their integration of real world problems helps answer students' questions of 'When am I ever going to use this?' Rare is such a question when using this book." "The addition of Excel is a great tool for those using computers in their courses." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Well written!!!,
This review is from: Applied Calculus (Hardcover)
This book covers calculus and other areas of mathematics. I can only speak for the
calculus sections. They are written more clearly than 99% of the available texts to be had. The examples given are extremely helpful and appropriate for the material presented. The problems are very closely related to the material presented. I asked the authors why they did not write a version for math and physics majors. I think the bottom line is that they did not want to undertake such a project. However, even with the missing theory this a good book for reviewing calculus on a self study basis.

So-So,
By D.L.C (Honolulu, Hawaii) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Applied Calculus (with InfoTrac) (Hardcover)
While the book excels at teaching the basic concepts, during the later parts, it flops badly. where in the beginning the examples actually dealt with the questions in some vague, but some understandable wa, the ending chapters from 4-6 fail horribly. Of the many questions in the book, the examples at best give some minor insight into maybe 1/4 of them. There are even problems that have no way of linking them to the examples and even my professor had to teach how to do them in a manner very unlike the textbook.
It's good for maybe the first 3 chapters, but after that, don't count on it for anything except raw questions.

This review is from: Applied Calculus, Enhanced Review Edition (with CengageNOW, Personal Tutor Printed Access Card) (Hardcover)
I wasn't expecting the delivery to come in until next week, but it came about 4 days later. It really helped since I had homework due that week!
