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.

From the Publisher

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. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

This review is from: Single Variable Calculus (3rd Edition) (Paperback)

Unfortunately the book I recieved was a teachers edition and had no answer key in the back for the homework assignments. I am going to have to purchase a book from the bookstore so that I will be able to check my work on the homework.

1.0 out of 5 stars Truly Dreadful!, February 7, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Single Variable Calculus (2nd Edition) (Paperback)

One of the worst math books I have ever used! Examples are few and far between, and the explanations are confusing! Problems are often ambiguously worded and unclear! Considerable time is wasted simply attempting to determine what the the problem means! Horrible, simply and utterly horrible!
