Description
"The companion to Fernandez's successful Calculus Simplified, completing a full year of accessible, personalized support for college calculus Calculus is both beautiful and useful. Its usefulness has made it the subject of core service courses that must deliver, in a limited time, an extraordinary amount and range of material: new fundamental concepts and abstract objects; particular realizations of the new objects, each with specific behavior; and precise techniques of manipulation and calculation. All of this is packed into courses and textbooks in a way that, to students, can entangle the fundamental and the particular. A student who is struggling can't tell whether they aren't grasping the fundamentals or are unfamiliar with specific facts or need more practice with common techniques. In this resource for students, Oscar Fernandez helps them to unpick the tangle. He reduces attention to the core of Calculus 2: techniques and applications of integration; sequences and series; and applications of integration to sequences and series. This clear focus gives him the space to build intuition-what's going on and why we care-as motivation for the increasing load of facts and techniques. As a result, students gain a solid understanding of the material while recovering the beauty and power of the subject. As with his previous book, Calculus Simplified, this clarified approach to the material is supplemented with hundreds of worked examples, hundreds of exercises (with answers), dynamic and interactive online content, and video examples and explainers"--
