Features: This book is written by the authors based on their many years of teaching experience in higher mathematics for economics, management, and other liberal arts majors. It covers topics such as calculus for single and multiple variables, infinite series, and ordinary differential equations. The authors have carefully considered the teaching characteristics of higher mathematics for liberal arts majors in terms of content and difficulty level. They have removed some more advanced theoretical derivations while maintaining the coherence and completeness of the theoretical system. A brief discussion of the history of the development of calculus is included to emphasize the cultivation of logical thinking. Numerous examples and exercises that apply calculus to economic problems have been added. The final chapter has been significantly revised, and the content on spatial analytical geometry in the multiple-variable calculus section has been substantially reduced. This book is suitable as a textbook for undergraduate and associate degree students in economics, management, and other liberal arts majors.
