Solving applied problems is the core focus of an applied calculus course, so concepts are applied to practical problems very soon after they are introduced in Hoffmann and Bradley's text. All concepts covered in the text are applied to a variety of practical situations from business and economics and the social, managerial, environmental, and life sciences.

Applied Problem-Solving Support

The text consistently provides methods for dealing with both routine computations and practical problems. These problem-solving methods and strategies are introduced in examples and are followed by both end of section exercises and an extensive set of review problems at the end of each chapter.
