Summary

For courses in Applied Calculus.

This package includes MyLab Math.

Students learn calculus by seeing and doing calculus

Written in MyLab™ Math,  Interactive Applied Calculus  weaves video, text, and MyLab Math assessment questions into a seamless learning experience that helps more students master calculus and succeed in the course. 

Rather than introducing concepts all at once on a static, printed page, this unique online product uses Interactive Assignments that take a “watch a little, do a little” approach. Concepts are explained to students, who then practice them immediately – leading to deeper visual and conceptual understanding. The authors cover all key concepts, but do so in a way that students will find accessible and engaging. 

Interactive Applied Calculus  is not only written in MyLab Math, but takes advantage of the MyLab’s hallmark course management features and functionality. This flexibility, combined with the authors’ decades of teaching experience, make this a perfect solution — whether you teach applied calculus in a traditional lecture, online, hybrid, or flipped format.   

Interactive Applied Calculus  is the newest addition to Pearson’s suite of Interactive Courses for MyLab Math and Statistics.

Personalize learning with MyLab Math

By combining trusted author content with digital tools and a flexible platform, MyLab Math personalizes the learning experience and improves results for each student.

Author Biography

Nathan P. Ritchey earned a B.A. in Mathematics with a minor in Music from Mansfield University of Pennsylvania. He earned a M.S. in Applied Mathematics and a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Carnegie Mellon University. He is former chair of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Youngstown State University and is currently a professor in the Department of Mathematics at Kent State University. He has published articles in economics, honors education, medicine, mathematics, operations research, and student recruitment. Nate is a Consultant / Evaluator for the North Central Association's Higher Learning Commission and regularly participates in program evaluations.

 

In recognition of his numerous activities, Nate has received the Distinguished Professor Award for University Service, the Youngstown Vindicator's "People Who Make a Difference Award," the Watson Merit Award for Department Chairs, the Spirit in Education Award from the SunTex corporation, and the Provost's Merit Award for significant contributions to the Honors Program.

Darin Kapanjie joined the Fox School of Business at Temple University in 2003. He has served as Managing Director of Online & Digital Learning and the Academic Director of Online MBA and BBA Programs. Darin helped build and manage the interactive and collaborative Fox Online model adopted for Temple's online business courses.

Darin is committed to teaching beyond the physical classroom. He is known for using cutting-edge teaching technologies, and was an early adopter of Class Capture, Wireless Tablet Annotation, and Pearson’s MyLabs; he was the first to use WebEx web conferencing tools to teach synchronous online classes at Temple. Darin has been honored with Philadelphia Business Journal’s Top 40 Under 40 Award, the Musser Award for Leadership in Teaching, the Andrisani-Frank Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching Award, the Fox Online MBA Professor of the Year, the Innovation in Teaching Award at Temple’s Classroom Engagement Through Technology Conference, a two-time winner of the Fox Business Honors Teacher of the Year, and was the inaugural recipient of the John DeAngelo Innovative Leader in Technology Award. 

Katharine Fisher has taught mathematics at the college level for 25 years in Canada and the U.S., and is currently a Senior Lecturer at the University of Toledo. She completed her graduate and undergraduate studies in pure mathematics. In 2016 she received the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics Excellence in Teaching Award from her university.

When Katharine was asked to develop a technology-rich applied calculus course for her university 10 years ago, she began making hundreds of videos to incorporate into her classes and received enthusiastic response from her students. She has taught in a variety of course formats including hybrid, lab-based, online, and traditional lecture environments. When not teaching or developing course materials, she can be found running, cycling, or traveling with her husband and kids.
