Page 10 - How To Solve Word Problems In Calculus

Preface

This book is designed to enable students of calculus to develop
their skills in solving word problems. Most calculus textbooks
present this topic in a cursory manner, forcing the student to
struggle with the techniques of setting up and solving com-
plex verbal problems. This book, which may be used as a sup-
plement to all calculus textbooks, is presented in a manner
that has proved so successful with the other books in the How
to Solve Word Problems series:

Concise definitions and discussion of appropriate the-
ory in easily understood terms.
Fully worked out solutions to illustrative examples.
Supplementary problems with complete solutions.

The purpose of this book is to increase the student’s confi-
dence in his or her ability to solve word problems. The material
is presented in an easy-to-understand, readable manner and if
the reader is willing to invest a little time and effort, he or she
will be rewarded with a skill which will prove invaluable.
