Applied Calculus, 7th Edition
Deborah Hughes-Hallett, Andrew Gleason, Patti Lock, and Daniel Flath
In the 7th edition of Applied Calculus, the focus on the “Rule of Four” (viewing problems graphically, numerically, symbolically, and verbally) promotes critical thinking to reveal solutions to mathematical problems. This approach reinforces the conceptual understanding necessary to reduce complicated problems to simple procedures without losing sight of the practical value of mathematics. In this edition of Applied Calculus, the authors continue their focus on introducing different perspectives for students with updated applications, exercises, and an increased emphasis on active learning.

Pre-Lecture and Mini-Lecture Videos with ConcepTests
allow flexibility in face-to-face, online, hybrid or hyflex courses with author-led discussion on key concepts. These videos provide students with enough information to immediately tackle problems in every section. ConcepTest multiple-choice questions now available to assign with videos promote active learning in the classroom and have been shown to dramatically improve student learning.
Questions Powered by GeoGebra
give instructors the ability to assign more graphing and complex auto-graded questions to improve conceptual understanding.
New Prerequisite Support Appendices
have been added as a digital appendix to support corequisite courses. The comprehensive coverage of prerequisite topics includes Algebra and Trigonometry, including step-by-step instructional worksheets that can be used inside or outside of the classroom, and an ample selection of homework and quiz exercises for each topic. Utilizing WileyPLUS, you can customize the topics and truly cater to your individual course needs.

Deborah Hughes Hallett is a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Arizona and Adjunct Professor of Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School. With Andrew M. Gleason at Harvard, she organized the Calculus Consortium based at Harvard, which brought together faculty from a wide variety of schools to work on undergraduate curricular issues. She is regularly consulted on the design of curricula and pedagogy for undergraduate mathematics at the national and international level and she is an author of several college level mathematics texts. In 1998 and 2002 and 2006, she was co-chair of the International Conference on the Teaching of Mathematics in Greece and Turkey, attended by several hundred faculty from about 50 countries. She has designed courses in Brunei, Colombia and Niger. She was awarded the Louise Hay Prize and elected a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science for contributions to mathematics education. Her work has been recognized by prizes from Harvard, the University of Arizona, and as national winner MAA Award for Distinguished Teaching.
