tailieunhanh - Calculus for the Managerial, Life, and Social Sciences

Math is an integral part of our increasingly complex daily life. Calculus for the Managerial, Life, and Social Sciences, Seventh Edition, attempts to illustrate this point with its applied approach to mathematics. Our objective for this Seventh Edition is twofold: (1) to write an applied text that motivates students and (2) to make the book a useful teaching tool for instructors. We hope that with the present edition we have come one step closer to realizing our goal. This book is suitable for use in a one-semester or two-quarter introductory calculus course for students in the managerial, life, and social sciences | jj K f f f py b x dx Um f x dx .2 g x I f M g x y TAN7 R p . fn r x . x f x tfxỉỉl -ìKĨOy ỉ yíữy1 1 1 J IB About the Cover Peter Blair Henry received his first lesson in international economics at the age of 8 when his family moved from the Caribbean island of Jamaica to affluent Wilmette Illinois. Upon arrival in the United States he wondered why people in his new home seemed to have so much more than people in Jamaica. The elusive answer to the question of why the average standard of living can be so different from one country to another still drives him today as an Associate Professor of Economics in the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University. Henry began his academic career on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he was a wide receiver on the varsity football team and a Phi Beta Kappa graduate in economics. With an intrinsic love of learning and a desire to make the world a better place he knew that he wanted a career as an economist. He also knew that a firm foundation in mathematics would help him to answer the real-life questions that fueled his passion for economics a passion that earned him a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University where he received a . in mathematics. PETER BLAIR HENRY International Economist This foundation in mathematics prepared Henry for graduate study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT where he received his . in economics. While in graduate school he served as a consultant to the Governors of the Bank of Jamaica and the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank ECCB . His research at the ECCB helped provide the intellectual foundation for establishing the first stock market in the Eastern Caribbean Currency Area. His current research and teaching at Stanford are funded by the National Science Foundation s Early CAREER Development Program which recognizes and supports the early career-development activities of those teacher-scholars who are most likely to become the academic leaders
