Abstract:
This textbook explores the extensions, digressions and supplementary topics are often ignored in tradition curriculum such as additional properties of polynomials, rational functions and exponentials. Derivatives without limits, constrained maxima and minima with Lagrangian functions, envelopes and asymptotes and generalized logarithms for exponential- linear equations are also explained--Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
