Description For a three-semester or four-quarter calculus course covering single variable and multivariable calculus for mathematics, engineering, and science majors.
This text offers a superior teaching and learning experience. Reflects how students use a textbook —they start with the exercises and flip back for help if they need it. Organization and presentation of content facilitates learning of key concepts, skills, and applications.
Series This product is part of the following series. The MyMathLab course for the text features: More than 7, assignable exerc ises to provide you with the options you need to meet the needs of students. Most exercises can be algorithmically regenerated for unlimited practice. Learning aids include guided exercises, additional examples, and tutorial videos.
You control how much help your students can get and when. The figures are also ideal for in-class demonstrations. Interactive Figure Exercises provide a way for you to make the most of the Interactive Figures by including them in homework assignments.
The addition of: Hundreds of new algorithmic exercises that correspond to those in the text. To help determine which exercises to add, we analyzed data mined from students using the MyMathLab course from the first edition. These exercises provide support for students in their first attempts at new and important problems. More exercises that call for student manipulation and analysis of the Interactive Figures. Exercises that take advantage of the more sophisticated graphing functionality recently added to MyMathLab.
A Conceptual Questions Library that augments the text exercises to focus on deeper, theoretical understanding of the key concepts in calculus. The requirement that students provide units for real-world exercises e.
Answer-checking algorithms have been re-checked and refined where necessary. To address the growing use of video by students and instructors, we have greatly increased the number of instructional videos. Comprehensive exercise sets provide for a variety of student needs and are consistently structured and labeled to facilitate the creation of homework assignments. Review Questions check that students have a general conceptual understanding of the essential ideas from the section.
Basic Skills exercises are linked to examples in the section so students get off to a good start with homework.
Applications present practical and novel applications and models that use the ideas presented in the section.
Additional Exercises challenge students to stretch their understanding by working through abstract exercises and proofs. When students flip back to the narrative for help with exercises, they find: Writing that reflects the voice of the instructor. Plentiful examples, each stepped-out in detail. Within examples, the steps are annotated in blue type to help students understand what took place in each step.
Figures that are designed to teach rather than simply supplement the narrative. The figures are annotated to lead students through the key ideas, and rendered using the latest software for unmatched clarity and precision. Quick Check exercises punctuate the narrative at key points to test understanding of basic ideas and encourage students to read with pencil in hand. Early Transcendentals Dennis G. Zill, Warren S. Essential Calculus : Early Transcendentals , Second Edition , resembles Essential Calculus , but the exponential, logarithmic, and inverse trigonometric functions are covered in Chapter 3.
Author : William L. Briggs Publisher: Pearson College Division ISBN: Category: Mathematics Page: View: Read Now » This much anticipated second edition of the most successful new calculus text published in the last two decades retains the best of the first edition while introducing important advances and refinements.
Authors Briggs, Cochran, and Gillett build from a foundation of meticulously crafted exercise sets, then draw students into the narrative through writing that reflects the voice of the instructor, examples that are stepped out and thoughtfully annotated, and figures that are designed to teach rather than simply supplement the narrative.
The authors appeal to students' geometric intuition to introduce fundamental concepts, laying a foundation for the development that follows. Note: You are purchasing a standalone product; MyMathLab does not come packaged with this content. MyMathLab is not a self-paced technology and should only be purchased when required by an instructor.
The book is only pages--two-thirds the size of Stewart's other calculus texts, and yet it contains almost all of the same topics. The author achieved this relative brevity primarily by condensing the exposition and by putting some of the features on the book's website, www. Despite the more compact size, the book has a modern flavor, covering technology and incorporating material to promote conceptual understanding, though not as prominently as in Stewart's other books.
Author : Jon Rogawski Publisher: W. How can you make sure students get both the computational skills they need and a deep understanding of the significance of what they are learning? Rogawski engages students while reinforcing the relevance of calculus to their lives and future studies. Precise mathematics, vivid examples, colorful graphics, intuitive explanations, and extraordinary problem sets all work together to help students grasp a deeper understanding of calculus.
We have listened to and learned from the instructors who used the first edition. They have given us wise guidance about how to make the second edition an even more effective learning tool for students and a more powerful resource for instructors.
Of course, the second edition also benefits from our own experiences using the book, as well as our experiences teaching mathematics at diverse institutions over the past 30 years.
They deserve much of the credit for the improvements that we have made in the second edition. Do you like this book?
