Calculus Alive and Applied for Business, Economics, and Life by Sherman Chottiner
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This textbook is one third pre-calculus (algebra, analytical geometry) and the rest introductory calculus presented in just over four hundred pages of content. The presentation is often overtly jocular. This style could be friendly and even entertaining to some: “Are you having so much trouble with derivatives that you are thinking about jumping from the nearest tall building? Well, stop, because you’ll only come under the influence of other derivatives…” Ignoring the jokes, the book, complete with exercises and examples, is a suitable textbook for a first semester of calculus especially at the high school level. The text integrates with Freemathhelp.com and Calc101.com through suggested content-relevant tasks.
