Special Edition for Rutgers University

The NEW 7th edition of Calculus blends the best aspects of calculus reform along with the goals and methodology of traditional calculus. The format of this text is enhanced, but is not dominated by new technology. Its innovative presentation includes:

  • Conceptual Understanding through Verbalization
  • Mathematical Communication
  • Cooperative Learning Group Research Projects
  • Integration of Technology
  • Greater Text Visualization
  • Supplementary Materials
  • Interactive art - Many pieces of art in the book link online to dynamic art to illustrate such topics as limits, slopes, areas, and direction fields

Calculus features:

  • An early presentation of transcendental functions: Logarithms, exponential functions, and trigonometric functions
  • Differential equations in a natural and reasonable way
  • Utilization of the humanness of mathematics
  • Precalculus mathematics being taught at most colleges and universities correctly reflected
  • A student solutions manual, instructor’s manual, and accompanying website

It’s all about Problems, problems, problems, and even more problems:

  • Modeling Problems require the reader to make assumptions about the real world.
  • Think Tank Problems prove the proposition true or to find a counterexample to disprove the proposition.
  • Exploration Problems go beyond the category of counterexample problem to provide opportunities for innovative thinking.
  • Historical Quest Problems invite the students to participate in the historical development of mathematics. History becomes active rather than passive.
  • Journal Problems have been reprinted from leading mathematics journals in an effort to show that "mathematicians work problems too."
  • Putnam Examination Problems have been included to challenge not only the "best of the best" but to offer stimulating content for everybody.
  • Uniform Problem Sets 60 in every set allow for easy and consistent problem assignment.
  • Cumulative Problem Sets for Chapters 1-5.
  • Huge Chapter Supplementary Problem Set of 99 miscellaneous problems in each chapter.
  • Proficiency Examination Problem Sets consisting of both concept and practice problems.
