Calculating Dosages Safely: A Dimensional Analysis Approach
by Tracy HorntvedtDosage calculations can be intimidating, but they don't need to be. Using dimensional analysis, you'll learn how to calculate both simple and complex medication dosage problems with consistency and accuracy and reduce medication errors with simple safety mechanisms. This reliable and consistent method helps to ensure safe medication administration practices. Dimensional analysis, which can be used on virtually every dosage calculation problem, eliminates the need to use other methods or perform lengthy, multi-step calculations. It's a method of problem-solving that organizes data in a manner that is easy to understand and apply.

Calculus For The Forgetful: How To Understand More And Memorize Less
by Wojciech K. Kosek“Calculus for the Forgetful: How to understand more and memorize less”, by Wojciech K Kosek, is one of the shortest calculus books available: it can be read in a couple of days if needed. Yet it provides a concise treatment of single variable calculus, along with many exercises and more than 130 examples. Informal, intuitive language is used to present the theory in a nutshell. This book is small enough to be carried around to other classes in which calculus is used, which is ideal for those who plan to take classes in physics, chemistry, economics, engineering, or more advanced mathematics courses. Those who are preparing for standardized tests will also benefit from the book. Also, an great complement to any of the comprehensive texts for students currently taking calculus. Students who major in areas such as mathematics or mathematics education, economics, engineering, physics or chemistry, will be especially glad to purchase “Calculus for the Forgetful”.
Calculus I with Precalculus
by Ron Larson Bruce Edwards David FalvoNIMAC-sourced textbook <P><P>CALCULUS I WITH PRECALCULUS, brings you up to speed algebraically within precalculus and transition into calculus.

A large number of examples are included and this edition includes a new design and systematic use of colour, together with many new exercises and applications.
Calculus On Manifolds
by Michael SpivakThis little book is especially concerned with those portions of "advanced calculus" in which the subtlety of the concepts and methods makes rigor difficult to attain at an elementary level. The approach taken here uses elementary versions of modern methods found in sophisticated mathematics. The formal prerequisites include only a term of linear algebra, a nodding acquaintance with the notation of set theory, and a respectable first-year calculus course (one which at least mentions the least upper bound (sup) and greatest lower bound (inf) of a set of real numbers). Beyond this a certain (perhaps latent) rapport with abstract mathematics will be found almost essential.<P><P> Advisory: Bookshare has learned that this book offers only partial accessibility. We have kept it in the collection because it is useful for some of our members. To explore further access options with us, please contact us through the Book Quality link on the right sidebar.

Calculus With Analytic Geometry (Second Edition)
by George F. SimmonsIt is a curious fact that people who write thousand-page textbooks still seem to find it necessary to write prefaces to explain their purposes. Enough is enough, one would think. However, every textbook--and this one is no exception--is both an expression of dissatisfaction with existing books and a statement by the author of what he thinks such a book ought to contain, and a preface offers one last chance to be heard and understood.
Calculus With Applications (Eleventh Edition)
by Margaret L. Lial Raymond N. Greenwell Nathan P. RitcheyCalculus with Applications is a thorough, applications-oriented text for students majoring in business, management, economics, or the life or social sciences.
Calculus and Its Applications
by Marvin L. Bittinger David J. EllenbogenCalculus and Its Applications, Ninth Edition, is the most student-oriented applied calculus text on the market. The authors believe that appealing to students' intuition and speaking in a direct, down-to-earth manner make this text accessible to any student possessing the prerequisite math skills. However, it is not enough for a text to be accessible--it must also provide students with motivation to learn. Tapping into areas of student interest, the authors provide an abundant supply of examples and exercises rich in real-world data from business, economics, environmental studies, health care, and the life sciences. New examples cover applications ranging from charting CEO pay to the melting polar ice cap. Found in every chapter, realistic applications draw students into the discipline and help them to generalize the material and apply it to new and novel situations. To further spark student interest, hundreds of meticulously drawn graphs, illustrations, and tables appear throughout the text, making it a favorite among students who are visual learners. Appropriate for a one-term course, this text is an introduction to applied calculus. A course in intermediate algebra is a prerequisite, although the Appendix, "Review of Basic Algebra," together with Chapter R, provides a sufficient foundation to unify the diverse backgrounds of most students.
