The smart student's secret to study success
The Student Solutions Manual to accompany Calculus: Ideas and Applications helps students ensure their own success. With fully-worked solutions to every odd-numbered problem in the text, this book allows students to gauge their understanding, avoid incorrect habits, and study smarter instead of longer. Having immediate feedback on independent work helps students spot their own mistakes, and the ability to check their work against the correct process can reveal hidden issues with concepts, calculations, arithmetic, and more.Alex Himonas received his B.S. from Patras University in Greece, and his M.S. and Ph.D. from Purdue University. He is currently professor of mathematics at University of Notre Dame, where he has won the Kaneb Teaching Award and received numerous National Science foundation grants. His research interests include regularity of solutions to partial differential equations and the Cauchy problem for non-linear evolution equations. Alex grew up in rural Greece, surrounded by five siblings and ninety-nine sheep. His mathematical talent first surfaced when his father asked him to calculate the volume of their wine barrels in order to determine their holding capacity. His first encounter with Riemann sums came when he was invited to help the local surveyor measure the neighboring farms. As a youth, Alex was an avid beekeeper and also had a passion for astronomy. He spent many nights staring at the sky and studying the constellations. These days, Alex returns to Greece every few years. Outside of mathematics, he enjoys swimming, gardening, and family time with his wife and two children.
