Calculus With Analyic Geometry

Countless people have relied on Anton to learn the difficult concepts of calculus. The new ninth edition continues the tradition of providing an accessible introduction to the field. It improves on the carefully worked and special problems to increase comprehension. New applied exercises demonstrate the usefulness of mathematics. More summary tables and step-by-step summaries are included to offer additional support when learning the concepts. And Quick Check exercises have been revised to more precisely focus on the most important ideas. This book will help anyone who needs to learn calculus and build a strong mathematical foundation.

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.
