Calculus: Early Transcendentals

Organized to support an "early transcendentals" approach to the course, this version of Rogawski's highly anticipated text presents calculus with solid mathematical precision but with an everyday sensibility that puts the main concepts in clear terms.  It is rigorous without being inaccessible and clear without being too informal--it has the perfect balance for instructors and their students. 


 

Also available in a late transcendentals version (0-7167-6911-5).

About Jon Rogawski
Jon Rogawski received his undergraduate degree (and simultaneously a master's degree in mathematics) at Yale, and a Ph.D. in mathematics from Princeton University, where he studied under Robert Langlands. Prior to joining the Department of Mathematics at UCLA, where he is currently Full Professor, he held teaching positions at Yale and the University of Chicago, and research positions at the Institute for Advanced Study and University of Bonn.
 
Jon's areas of interest are number theory, automorphic forms, and harmonic analysis on semisimple groups. He has published numerous research articles in leading mathematical journals, including a research monograph entitled "Automorphic Representations of Unitary Groups in Three Variables" (Princeton University Press). He is the recipient of a Sloan Fellowship and an editor of The Pacific Journal of Mathematics.
 
Jon and his wife Julie, a physician in family practice, have four children. They run a busy household and, whenever possible, enjoy family vacations in the mountains of California. Jon is a passionate classical music lover and plays the violin and classical guitar.
