Math is an integral part of our increasingly complex daily life. Calculus for the Managerial, Life, and Social Sciences, Seventh Edition, attempts to illustrate this point with its applied approach to mathematics. Our objective for this Seventh Edition is twofold: (1) to write an applied text that motivates students and (2) to make the book a useful teaching tool for instructors. We hope that with the present edition we have come one step closer to realizing our goal. This book is suitable for use in a one-semester or two-quarter introductory calculus course for students in the managerial, life, and social sciences
