ADVANCED PLACEMENT CALCULUS 2016 GRAPHICAL NUMERICAL ALGEBRAIC FIFTH EDITION STUDENT EDITION

by Savvas Learning Co

Description

The fifth edition of Calculus: Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic, AP* Edition, by Finney, Demana, Waits, Kennedy, and Bressoud completely supports the content, philosophy, and goals of the Advanced Placement (AP*) Calculus courses (AB and BC). As with previous editions, we have kept our focus on high school students taking one of the College Board’s AP courses, Calculus AB or Calculus BC. The topics in the book reflect both the curriculum and the pedagogy of an AP course, and we do what we show more can to prepare students for the AP examinations throughout the book. The incorporation of graphing calculator technology throughout the course continues to be a defining feature of this textbook. We do not want to retreat in any way from our support of modern technology, but we feel that the time has come to provide more guidance about the intent of the various exercises in our textbook. Therefore, as a service to teachers and students alike, exercises in this textbook that should be solved without calculators will be identified with gray ovals around the exercise numbers. These will usually be exercises that demonstrate how various functions behave algebraically or how algebraic representations reflect graphical behavior and vice versa. Application problems will usually have no restrictions, in keeping with our emphasis on modeling and on bringing all representations to bear when confronting real-world problems. We are pleased to note that this all meshes well with the Mathematical Practices for AP Calculus (MP show less
