About this title

Synopsis

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).
