Ideal for the single-variable, one-, or two-semester calculus course, Calculus of a Single Variable, 8/e, contains the first 9 chapters of Calculus, 8/e. The text continues to offer instructors and students new and innovative teaching and learning resources. The Calculus series was the first to use computer-generated graphics, to include exercises involving the use of computers and graphing calculators, to be available in an interactive CD-ROM format, to be offered as a complete, online calculus course, and to offer a two-semester Calculus I with Precalculus text. Every edition of the series has made the mastery of traditional calculus skills a priority, while embracing the best features of new technology and, when appropriate, calculus reform ideas. Now, the Eighth Edition is the first calculus program to offer algorithmic homework and testing created in Maple so that answers can be evaluated with complete mathematical accuracy. Two primary objectives guided the authors in writing this book: to develop precise, readable materials for students that clearly define and demonstrate concepts and rules of calculus and to design comprehensive teaching resources for instructors that employ proven pedagogical techniques and saves the instructor time. The Eighth Edition continues to provide an evolving range of conceptual, technological, and creative tools that enable instructors to teach the way they want to teach and students to learn they way they learn best.

Calculus textbook,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Calculus Single Variable Advanced Placement 8th Edition (Hardcover)
I am a high school math teacher teaching AP Calculus for the past 10 years. I had been using earlier editions of this textbook and recently switched to this newer edition. I am as pleased with it as I had been with earlier editions. This book is a good, basic, standard Calculus text with numerous applications-oriented problems and has proven to be an excellent preparation for the College Board's Advanced Placement examination.

Brief but adequate for understanding the concepts.,
By Gio Thoang (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Calculus of a Single Variable (Hardcover)
This book is pretty nice. It provides you a lot useful concepts with brief explanation. Your job is to study and do the homework to digest that such concepts ( you'd better have a solution book that comes along with it). Don't blame for the book not covering everything as you expected, like other science courses, you should have a fair understanding the basics before go up to higher level.

Calc book,
This review is from: Calculus of a Single Variable (Hardcover)
Because this was a requirement for class, this book served me very well. It is clear and easy to understand if one has the time to concentrate while reading and complete the practice problems.
