Product Description

Designed for the three-semester calculus course for math and science majors, Calculus continues to offer instructors and students new and innovative teaching and learning resources. This was the first calculus text 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent textbook for calculus; well-written., June 13, 2006
By D. Bezboruah (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
I have been a fan of Roland Larson's math textbooks, as they have always been very clear and the practice problems always make sense. I was recently stuck in some calculus courses which used the calculus textbook by James Stewart, and that book is a nightmare! Fortunately, my multivarible calc prof prefers Larson's book, which is what we use in class. Very good book; I recommend it much over Stewart's. Also, do note that the odd-exercise solutions are posted for free online at Roland Larson's website, which is given to you in the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book for Intro Calculus Course, August 8, 2006
This book clearly explains the different mathematical techniques of Calculus and provides great problems for practice. It shows a step-by-step process of how to perform different techniques and explains how and why they work, which is probably the most important facet of actually learning calculus. In other words, it breaks down a daunting subject into something easy to understand.

1.0 out of 5 stars New edition for what???, August 25, 2006
By Imajica (St.Petersburg, FL) - See all my reviews
Calculus is an old problem, but new editions of the same material keep coming up. Calculus will not change, the way it is presented and explained can. At least to a certain amount. But just changing the sequence of exercise-numbers for each section, and moving sections from one chapter into another chapter, does not -in my opinion-warrant a new edition.
The actual text is the same as the old edition except: chapter 6 has 2 new sections (2 sections from the "old" chapter 5 have been moved to chapter 6).This is the only reason why I still gave it one star.
My opinion about this book: The way college students are tricked out of money for books they actually don't need is absolutely unethical! As a student you can only hope that your professor will work with online tools such as "eduspace". The fee to get access to the site is MUCH more reasonable....If you are not a student and are interested in this book: ANY of the old editions will give you the exact same information about Calculus!

1.0 out of 5 stars just another junk book
This book does provide the concepts and theory critical to an understanding of calculus. Unfortunately, it is in a wordy, technical, abstract, and thoroughly annoying format. Read more
