Description

Calculus, Third Edition emphasizes the techniques and theorems of calculus, including many applied examples and exercises in both drill and applied-type problems. This book discusses shifting the graphs of functions, derivative as a rate of change, derivative of a power function, and theory of maxima and minima. The area between two curves, differential equations of exponential growth and decay, inverse hyperbolic functions, and integration of rational functions are also elaborated. This text likewise covers the fluid pressure, ellipse and translation of axes, graphing in polar coordinates, proof of l’Hôpital’s rule, and approximation using Taylor polynomials. Other topics include the rectangular coordinate system in space, higher-order partial derivatives, line integrals in space, and vibratory motion. This publication is valuable to students taking calculus.

Description

For 3- to 4-semester courses covering single-variable and multivariable calculus, taken by students of mathematics, engineering, natural sciences or economics.

Designed for today’s calculus instructors and students

The much-anticipated 3rd Edition of Calculus: Multivariable retains its hallmark features while introducing important advances and refinements. Briggs, Cochran, Gillett and Schulz build from a foundation of meticulously crafted exercise sets, then draw students into the narrative through writing that reflects the voice of the instructor. Examples are stepped out and thoughtfully annotated, and figures are designed to teach rather than simply supplement the narrative.

Description

Calculus builds from a foundation of strong exercise sets, then draws you into the narrative through writing that reflects an instructor’s voice. Examples are stepped out and thoroughly annotated, and figures are designed carefully to work with the content. The 3rd Edition introduces important advances and refinements while retaining its proven hallmark features. Extensively revised exercise sets are rearranged and relabeled, with some modified and other new ones added. Chapter Review exercises are thoroughly revised to provide more exercises (more than 26% are new), more intermediate-level problems, and more opportunities to choose a strategy of solution.
