Synopsis

This is the most widely used calculus text in the U.S., with a reputation for its clear, well-written coverage of concepts. This new edition combines the clear exposition of earlier editions and incorporates improvements in coverage and pedagogy to create a lively, more accessible approach. Informal paraphrasing supplements formal proofs, and the text offers biographical sketches, historical notes, and references to recent literature. New material includes additional exercises in each chapter which meet the needs of science, engineering, and math majors. There is a new chapter on differential equations and there has been substantial reorganization of the material on functions, limits, differentiation, integration, applications of the definite integral, and multivariate calculus.

About this title

From the Publisher

The aim of this major revision is to create a contemporary text which incorporates the best features of calculus reform yet preserves the main structure of an established and well-tested calculus course. The multivariate calculus material is completely rewritten to include the concept of a vector field and focuses on major physics and engineering applications of vector analysis. Covers such new topics as Jacobians, Kepler's laws, conics in polar coordinates and parametric representation of surfaces. Contains expanded use of calculator computations and numerous exercises.
