Calculus for Business, Economics and the Social and Life Sciences, Brief Edition, 11/e (Paperback)

Description
Calculus for Business, Economics, and the Social and Life Sciences, Brief Edition, provides a sound, intuitive understanding of the basic concepts students need as they pursue careers in business, economics, and the life and social sciences. Students achieve success using this text as a result of the authors’ applied and real-world orientation to concepts, problem-solving approach, straightforward and concise writing style, and comprehensive exercise sets. More than 100,000 students worldwide have studied from this text!

Revised Content
Every section in the text underwent careful analysis and extensive review to ensure the most beneficial and clear presentation. Additional steps and definition boxes were added when necessary for greater clarity and precision, graphs and figures were revised as necessary, and discussions and introductions were added or rewritten as needed to improve presentation.

Enhanced Topic Coverage
Material on the extreme value property for functions of two variables and finding extreme values on closed, bounded regions has been added to Section 7.3. This completes the analogy with the single-variable case and better prepares students for future study of statistics and finite mathematics.

Improved Exercise Sets
Almost 250 new routine and application exercises have been added to the already extensive problem sets. A wealth of new applied problems has been added to help demonstrate the practicality of the material, and existing applications have been updated. Moreover, exercise sets have been rearranged so that applications are grouped in categories (business/economics, life and social sciences, and miscellaneous).

New Pedagogical Design Elements
Titles have been added to each example in the text, and learning objectives have been specified at the beginning of each section. Example titles allow both students and instructors to quickly find items of interest to them. These pedagogical improvements make the topics clear and comprehensible for all students, help to organize ideas, and aid both students and professors with review and  valuation.

Online Matrix Supplement
The authors have fully revised the matrix supplement. Problems and examples have been revised and updated to include more  contemporary applications. The revised supplement in PDF format is posted online for instructors to download at www.mhhe.com/hoffmann.

Chapter-by-Chapter Changes

• Titles have been added to all worked examples throughout the book.
• A list of learning objectives has been added at the beginning of every section.
• End-of-section exercises have been grouped according to subject.

描述

《商業、經濟、社會和生命科學微積分》簡明版提供了學生在追求商業、經濟、生命科學和社會科學職業生涯時所需的基本概念的堅實而直觀的理解。學生之所以能夠成功使用這本教材，是因為作者對概念的應用和現實世界導向、解決問題的方法、直接簡潔的寫作風格以及全面的練習題集。全球超過100,000名學生已經從這本教材中學習過！

修訂內容

教材中的每一節都經過仔細分析和廣泛審查，以確保最有益和清晰的呈現方式。在需要時，增加了額外的步驟和定義框，以提高清晰度和精確度，必要時修訂了圖表和圖形，並根據需要添加或重寫了討論和介紹，以改善呈現方式。

增強的主題涵蓋範圍

在第7.3節中增加了關於兩個變數函數的極值性質和在封閉有界區域中尋找極值的材料。這完善了與單變量情況的類比，更好地為學生未來的統計學和有限數學研究做好準備。

改進的練習題集

在已經廣泛的問題集中增加了近250個新的例行和應用練習題。增加了大量新的應用問題，以幫助展示材料的實用性，並更新了現有的應用。此外，重新安排了練習題集，使應用問題按類別分組（商業/經濟學、生命和社會科學以及其他）。

新的教學設計元素

在教材中的每個例子中都添加了標題，並在每節開始時指定了學習目標。例子標題使學生和教師能夠快速找到他們感興趣的內容。這些教學改進使主題對所有學生清晰易懂，有助於組織思想，並幫助學生和教授進行復習和評估。

在線矩陣補充資料

作者已經完全修訂了矩陣補充資料。問題和例子已經修訂和更新，以包括更多當代應用。修訂後的補充資料以PDF格式在網上發布，供教師在www.mhhe.com/hoffmann上下載。

章節變更

• 在整本書的所有例子中都添加了標題。


• 在每節開始時添加了學習目標清單。


• 將每節結束後的練習按主題分組。
