Maple is a powerful software tool for mathematical computations and visualization. The goal of this manual is to introduce Maple to students who are taking first year calculus. As such, Maple is a tool to solve problems that are too difficult to solve by hand. In addition, students will improve their understanding of the concepts of calculus. The order of the material is organized by computational topic and should be suitable for most texts on Single Variable calculus.

James Stewart's well-received MULTIVARIABLE CALCULUS: CONCEPTS AND CONTEXTS, Second Edition follows in the path of the other best-selling books by this remarkable author. The First Edition of this book was highly successful because it reconciled two schools of thought: it skillfully merged the best of traditional calculus with the best of the reform movement. This new edition continues to offer the balanced approach along with Stewart's hallmark features: meticulous accuracy, patient explanations, and carefully graded problems. The content has been refined and the examples and exercises have been updated. In addition, CALCULUS: CONCEPTS AND CONTEXTS Second Edition now includes a free CD-ROM for students that contains animations, activities, and homework hints. The book integrates the use of the CD throughout by using icons that show students when to use the CD to deepen their understanding of a difficult concept. In CALCULUS: CONCEPTS AND CONTEXTS, this well respected author emphasizes conceptual understanding - motivating students with real world applications and stressing the Rule of Four in numerical, visual, algebraic, and verbal interpretations. All concepts are presented in the classic Stewart style: with simplicity, character, and attention to detail. In addition to his clear exposition, Stewart also creates well thought-out problems and exercises. The definitions are precise and the problems create an ideal balance between conceptual understanding and algebraic skills.

Contains computer lab projects, sample syllabi, troubleshooting tips, and programming with Maple. Each chapter ends with a summary and a set of exercises.

Designed to help students learn how to use the Maple computer algebra system to solve problems in calculus, this combination text/lab manual/resource book offers a presentation that should help students get the most out of the Maple computer algebra system and the calculus course.

Each of these comprehensive lab manuals will help students learn to effectively use the technology tools available to them. Each lab contains clearly explained exercises and a variety of labs and projects to accompany the text.
