Calculus: Concepts AND Computation - Softcover

New Edition Now Available!

Calculus: Concepts & Computation achieves a clarity of style and presentation that provides a simple, yet rigorous, introduction to what are complicated and powerful concepts. It provides an “early transcendentals” version of calculus, with derivatives of trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions covered early in the publication (Chapter 2).

The text and solutions manual package provides a predominant emphasis on traditional by hand computations and graphing while also employing Maple, a computer algebra system (or CAS), as an auxiliary tool. Maple provides a dynamical, visual illustration of the concepts, fostering a deeper understanding of these concepts. To make the transition to this publication virtually seamless for adopters, worksheets, a solutions manual, and lecture videos with views of the text material, examples being worked on, and animations and figures are provided.

Calculus: Concepts & Computation

• Contains thoughtfully designed exercise sets, with exercises ranging from basic to hard, both computational and theoretical.
• Can be bundled with a detailed and elaborate electronic solution manual for the odd-numbered exercises in Chapters 1–8. It contains most all of the steps in the progression toward the answer and many comments on the underlying algebra (and calculus). Our Solutions Manual is more detailed and elaborate than other solutions manuals that typically are seen or used.
• Includes unique sections: An Alternative to Trig Substitutions, A New Class of Arc Length Problems, and An Overlooked Class of Solids of Revolution.
