Calculus is the mathematics of change. It is a dynamic subject that originated in the study of motion.
How do mathematicians, engineers, scientists, and successful business professionals do mathematics? They do not simply memorize a list of formulas. They observe patterns and make conjectures as to what causes these patterns. When they solve a particular problem, they use their solutions to solve related problems. They test their solutions on verifiable special cases and compare them with known results. They explain and justify their solutions in words. This is our focus in Business Calculus: Understanding Its Concepts and Methods.
Calculus deals with ideas that mathematicians and scientists have pondered for centuries; areas and volumes, rates of change, the orbits of planets, infinite sequences. The study of calculous is an adventure.
