Thomas’ Calculus

Description

About our authors

Joel Hass received his PhD from the University of California – Berkeley. He is currently a professor of mathematics at the University of California Davis. He has coauthored widely used calculus texts as well as calculus study guides. He is currently on the editorial board of several publications, including the Notices of the American Mathematical Society. He has been a member of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton University and of the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, and he was a Sloan Research Fellow. Hass’s current areas of research include the geometry of proteins, 3-dimensional manifolds, applied math, and computational complexity. In his free time Hass enjoys kayaking.

Christopher Heil received his PhD from the University of Maryland. He is currently a professor of mathematics at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He is the author of a graduate text on analysis and a number of highly cited research survey articles. He serves on the editorial boards of Applied and Computational Harmonic Analysis and The Journal of Fourier Analysis and Its Applications. Heil’s current areas of research include redundant representations, operator theory, and applied harmonic analysis. In his spare time, Heil pursues his hobby of astronomy.

For the single-variable component of three-semester or four-quarter courses in Calculus for students majoring in mathematics, engineering, or science

Clarity and precision

Thomas’ Calculus: Early Transcendentals, Single Variable helps students reach the level of mathematical proficiency and maturity you require, but with support for students who need it through its balance of clear and intuitive explanations, current applications, and generalized concepts. In the 14th Edition, new co-author Christopher Heil (Georgia Institute of Technology) partners with author Joel Hass to preserve what is best about Thomas’ time-tested text while reconsidering every word and every piece of art with today’s students in mind. The result is a text that goes beyond memorizing formulas and routine procedures to help students generalize key concepts and develop deeper understanding.

Also available with MyLab Math

MyLab™ Math is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to work with this text to engage students and improve results. Within its structured environment, students practice what they learn, test their understanding, and pursue a personalized study plan that helps them absorb course material and understand difficult concepts. A full suite of Interactive Figures have been added to the accompanying MyLab Math course to further support teaching and learning. Enhanced Sample Assignments include just-in-time prerequisite review, help keep skills fresh with distributed practice of key concepts, and provide opportunities to work exercises without learning aids to help students develop confidence in their ability to solve problems independently.

New and updated features of this title

• Updated graphics emphasize clear visualization and mathematical correctness.
• New examples and figures have been added throughout all chapters, many based on user feedback. For example, see Example 3 in Section 9.1 which helps students overcome a conceptual obstacle.

Hallmark features of this title

• Key topics are presented both informally and formally. The distinction between them is clearly stated as each is developed, including an explanation as to why a formal definition is needed. Ideas are introduced with examples and intuitive explanations that are then generalized so that students are not overwhelmed by abstraction.
• Results are both carefully stated and proved throughout , and proofs are clearly explained and motivated.
• Complete and precise multivariable coverage enhances the connections of multivariable ideas with their single-variable analogues studied earlier in the book.
• Strong exercise sets feature a great breadth of problems, progressing from skills problems to applied and theoretical problems, to encourage students to think about and practice the concepts until they achieve mastery.
• Writing exercises ask students to explore and explain a variety of calculus concepts and applications. The end of each chapter contains a list of questions for students to review and summarize what they have learned. Many of these exercises make good writing assignments.
• Technology exercises (marked with a T) are included in each section, asking students to use the calculator or computer when solving the problems. In addition, Computer Explorations give the option of assigning exercises that require a computer algebra system (CAS, such as Maple or Mathematica).
