About this title

Synopsis

Stewart's clear, direct writing style in SINGLE VARIABLE CALCULUS guides you through key ideas, theorems, and problem-solving steps. Every concept is supported by thoughtfully worked examples and carefully chosen exercises. Many of the detailed examples display solutions that are presented graphically, analytically, or numerically to provide further insight into mathematical concepts. Margin notes expand on and clarify the steps of the solution. iLrn Homework helps you identify where you need additional help, and Personal Tutor with SMARTHINKING gives you live, one-on-one online help from an experienced calculus tutor. In addition, the Interactive Video Skillbuilder CD-ROM takes you step-by-step through examples from the book.
