Synopsis
Like the blades of grass on the front cover of this book, mathematics used to describe nature is at once beautifully simple and infinitely complex. Calculus strives to illuminate both of these aspects o our world.Classroom-proven around the world, this classical text has been praised for its high level of mathematical integrity, including complete and precise statements of theorems, use of geometric reasoning in applied problems, and a diverse range of applications across he sciences. The Sixth Edition features a separate chapter on differential equations and numerous updated Maple examples.

About the Author
Robert Adams joined the Mathematics Department at the University of British Columbia in 1966 after completing a Ph.D. in Mathematics at the University of Toronto. His research interests in analysis led to the 1975 publication of a monograph, Sobolev Spaces, by Academic Press. It remained in print for 23 years. A second edition, joint with his colleague Professor John Fournier, was published in 2003. Professor Adams's teaching interests led to the 1982 publication of the first of his many calculus texts by Addison Wesley. These texts are now used worldwide. With a keen interest in computers, mathematical typesetting, and illustration. In 1984 Professor Adams became the first Canadian author to typeset his own textbooks using TeX on a personal computer. Since then he has also done all the illustrations for his books using the MG software program that he developed with his colleague, Professor Robert Israel. Now retired from UBC, Professor Adams is currently engaged in preparing the seventh editions of his textbooks and pursuing his interest in the Linux operating system. Dr. Christopher Essex. is Director, Program in Theoretical Physics, and Professor of Applied Mathematics, Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Western Ontario.
