Learn calculus by seeing and doing calculus. Written in MyLab® Math, Interactive Applied Calculus weaves video, text and MyLab Math assessment questions into a seamless learning experience that helps you master calculus and succeed in the course. Rather than introducing concepts all at once on a static, printed page, this unique online product uses Interactive Assignments that take a “watch a little, do a little” approach. Concepts are explained and then you practice them immediately, which leads to deeper understanding. The authors cover all key concepts in a way that you will find accessible and engaging. The flexibility of the MyLab platform, combined with the authors' decades of teaching experience, make this a perfect solution for applied calculus whether your course is traditional lecture, online, hybrid or flipped format.
