Single Variable Calculus

Built from the ground up to meet the needs of today's calculus learners, Single Variable Calculus was the first book to pair a complete calculus syllabus with the best elements of reform—like extensive verbalization and strong geometric visualization. The Third Edition of this groundbreaking book has been crafted and honed, making it the book of choice for those seeking the best of both worlds. Numerous chapters offer an exciting choice of problem sets and include topics such as functions and graphs, limits and continuity, differentiation, additional applications of the derivative, integration, additional applications of the integral, methods of integration, infinite series, vectors in the plane and in space, and vector-valued functions. For individuals in fields related to engineering, science, or mathematics.

Written to blend many of the best aspects of calculus reform with the reasonable goals and methodology of traditional calculus, this text prepares students of engineering, science, and math to move on to more advanced and necessary professional courses. Single Variable Calculus presents most traditional topics, such as continuity, the mean value theorem, l'Hpital's rule, parametric equations, polor coordinates, sequences, and series, in an attempt to incorporate the right amount of calculus reform. The book enables students to focus on learning by providing them with sound development of concepts, challenging problems, and a well- developed pedagogy.
