A revision of the best selling innovative Calculus text on the market. Functions are presented graphically, numerically, algebraically, and verbally to give readers the benefit of alternate interpretations. The text is problem driven with exceptional exercises based on real world applications from engineering, physics, life sciences, and economics. Revised edition features new sections on limits and continuity, limits, l'Hopital's Rule, and relative growth rates, and hyperbolic functions.

This book goes beyond the basics of a first course in calculus to reveal the power and richness of the subject. Standard topics from calculus — such as the real numbers, differentiation and integration, mean value theorems, the exponential function — are reviewed and elucidated before digging into a deeper exploration of theory and applications, such as the AGM inequality, convexity, the art of integration, and explicit formulas for π. Further topics and examples are introduced through a plethora of exercises that both challenge and delight the reader. While the reader is thereby exposed to the many threads of calculus, the coherence of the subject is preserved throughout by an emphasis on patterns of development, of proof and argumentation, and of generalization. More Calculus of a Single Variable is suitable as a text for a course in advanced calculus, as a supplementary text for courses in analysis, and for self-study by students, instructors, and, indeed, all connoisseurs of ingenious calculations.

First course calculus texts have traditionally been either“engineering/science-oriented” with too little rigor,or have thrown students in the deep end with a rigorous analysistext. The How and Why of One Variable Calculus closes thisgap in providing a rigorous treatment that takes an original andvaluable approach between calculus and analysis. Logicallyorganized and also very clear and user-friendly, it covers 6 maintopics; real numbers, sequences, continuity, differentiation,integration, and series. It is primarily concerned with developingan understanding of the tools of calculus. The author presentsnumerous examples and exercises that illustrate how the techniquesof calculus have universal application. The How and Why of One Variable Calculus presents anexcellent text for a first course in calculus for students in themathematical sciences, statistics and analytics, as well as a textfor a bridge course between single and multi-variable calculus aswell as between single variable calculus and upper level theorycourses for math majors.

Written by three gifted-and funny-teachers, How to Ace Calculus provides humorous and readable explanations of the key topics of calculus without the technical details and fine print that would be found in a more formal text. Capturing the tone of students exchanging ideas among themselves, this unique guide also explains how calculus is taught, how to get the best teachers, what to study, and what is likely to be on exams-all the tricks of the trade that will make learning the material of first-semester calculus a piece of cake. Funny, irreverent, and flexible, How to Ace Calculus shows why learning calculus can be not only a mind-expanding experience but also fantastic fun.

James Stewart continues to set the standard for the course while adding new diagnostic tools, carefully revised content, and all-new course management tools build on the foundation of his renowned content.
