Color on cover faded Simon & Schuster, 1996, 700 pages plus answer section The seventh edition of Calculus for Business, Economics, Life Sciences, and Social Sciences is designed for a one-term course in calculus and for students who have had 14-2 years of high school algebra or the equivalent. The choice and independence of topics make the text readily adaptable to a variety of courses (see the chapter depen-deney chart on the preceding page). It is one of six books in the authors' college mathematics series. Improvements in this edition evolved out of the generous response from a large number of users of the last and previous editions as well as survey results from instructors, mathematics departments, course outlines, and college catalogs. Fundamental to a book's growth and effectiveness is classroom use and feedback. Now in its seventh edition, Caleulus for Business, Economics, Life Sciences, and Social Sciences has had the benefit of having a substantial amount of both.
