E-Book Overview
COLLEGE ALGEBRA AND CALCULUS: AN APPLIED APPROACH, the newest addition to the Larson Applied math family, allows your students to feel confident moving from college algebra to applied calculus. The mathematical concepts and applications are consistently presented in the same tone and pedagogy. The combination of these two subjects into one text will not only save you time in your course, but it will also save your students the cost of an extra textbook.
