Technical Calculus with Analytic Geometry 5th Edition by Peter Kuhfittig
Quick Navigation

Overview

This text is written for today's technology student, with an accessible, intuitive approach and an emphasis on applications of calculus to technology. The text's presentation of concepts is clear and concise, with examples worked in great detail, enhanced by marginal annotations, and supported with step-by-step procedures whenever possible. Another powerful enhancement is the use of a functional second color to help explain steps. Differential and integral calculus are introduced in the first five chapters, while more advanced topics, such as differential equations and LaPlace transforms, are covered in later chapters. This organization allows the text to be used in a variety of technology programs.

Peter Kuhfittig

Peter Kuhfittig has taught mathematics at the Milwaukee School of Engineering for over thirty years and has served as head of the department for over half of this period. His enthusiasm for teaching has resulted in an award for excellence in teaching, as well as an interest in textbook writing. He has been involved in applications of mathematics through occasional consulting work. More recently, Dr. Kuhfittig has turned to research in wormhole physics.

What's New

{{collapseContainerClosed['whats-new'] ? 'Show More' : 'Show Less'}}
  • Approximately 25% new exercises, as well as reordered exercises to yield a more logical sequence for mastering the topics.
  • Expanded use of CAS, particularly in Chapters 7, 12, and 13 to check answers and to aid with performing calculations too cumbersome to do by hand. The use of CAS is not intended to replace traditional techniques. The use of graphing utilities has also been expanded in both examples and exercises.
  • Based on input from reviewers and users of the book, Sections 4.5, 4.7, 7.1, 7.6, and 7.7 were essentially rewritten. In Sections 2.6 and 3.4 new applications to economics have been introduced.

Features

{{collapseContainerClosed['features'] ? 'Show More' : 'Show Less'}}
  • Exercises sets have been carefully revised, with more applied problems added throughout.
  • Additional details have been added to many of the examples, making them more understandable for students.
  • There is a greater emphasis on using CAS to amplify and clarify certain concepts, such as tangent and normal lines, graphing parametric and polar curves, and graphing solutions of differential equations. The use of a computer algebra system (CAS) is suggested from time to time in the exercises. However, their use in the course remains completely optional.
  • The author uses notations frequently encountered in technology, to help prepare students for further courses in their careers.
  • Margin notes are used throughout to identify additional concepts and to explain the steps in the solutions to example problems.
  • The emphasis on applications helps students learn calculus skills that are particular to technology. The applications are complemented with a solid base of drill exercises to ensure that students get practice in basic operations.
  • Important concepts are boxed and labeled for easy reference and review.
  • Each chapter ends with a carefully selected set of review exercises that cover all the topics in the chapter. Answers to all of the review questions are included in the back of the book.
