If you desire to purchase the text, you can purchase it at any one of the three book stores on
campus or online at a number of different outlets. Our text is "Mathematics with Applications by
Lial, Hungerford, and Holcomb (Ninth Edition)". Several options are available when choosing
your text. The first option is to purchase a text that is shrink wrapped with a MyMathLab code.
This package comes with a collection of Digital Video Disks. These disks review every section in
the book. A second option is to purchase the MyMathLab code only. For most this is the best
option because the text is embedded in the MyMathLab program and you can copy pages if you
like.
Once you have a MyMathLab code, registration is simple. Grab your code, the course number,
Del Mar Colleges’ zip code “78404” and a valid email address. Go to www.coursecompass.com
and get started. The course code for your course is “johnson50307”. If you follow the
instructions on the card all should go well.

2. Use the derivative to study rates of change and marginal changes in economic applications
3. Construct accurate graphs of functions using the concepts of calculus.
4. Find optimum values of functions and apply them to practical situations, including related
rates.
5. Solve problems involving logarithmic or exponential growth and decay using ideas of calculus.
