Calculus: Single and Multivariable, 7th Edition continues the effort to promote courses in which understanding and computation reinforce each other. The 7th Edition reflects the many voices of users at research universities, four-year colleges, community colleges, and secondary schools. This new edition has been streamlined to create a flexible approach to both theory and modeling. The program includes a variety of problems and examples from the physical, health, and biological sciences, engineering and economics; emphasizing the connection between calculus and other fields.
The 7th edition of Applied Calculus focuses on the "Rule of Four" (viewing problems graphically, numerically, symbolically, and verbally) to promote critical thinking to reveal solutions to mathematical problems. This approach reinforces the conceptual understanding necessary to reduce complicated problems to simple procedures without losing sight of the practical value of mathematics. In this edition, the authors continue their focus on introducing different perspectives for students with updated applications, exercises, and an increased emphasis on active learning.
An accessible Precalculus text with concepts, examples, and problems The sixth edition of Functions Modeling Change: A Preparation for Calculus helps students establish a foundation for studying Calculus. The text covers key Precalculus topics, examples, and problems. Chapters examine linear, quadratic, logarithmic, exponential, polynomial, and rational functions. They also explore trigonometry and trigonometric Identities, plus vectors and matrices. The end of each chapter offers details on how students can strengthen their knowledge about the topics covered.
Algebra: Form and Function was designed based on the fundamental goal for a student to foster understanding of algebraic structure- that is, an understanding of how the arrangements of symbols allows us to predict, for example, the behavior of a function or the number of solutions to an equation. Mastering algebraic structure enables students to read algebraic expressions and equations in real-life contexts, not just manipulate them, and to choose which form or which operation will best suit the context. It facilitates being able to translate back and forth between symbolic, graphical, numerical, and verbal representations. By balancing practice in manipulation and opportunities to see the big picture, Algebra: Form and Function offers a way for teachers to help students achieve real mastery of algebra.

The ideal resource for promoting active learning in flipped classroom environments, Calculus: Multivariable, 8th Edition brings calculus to real life with relevant examples and a variety of problems with applications from the physical sciences, economics, health, biology, engineering, and economics. Emphasizing the Rule of Four—viewing problems graphically, numerically, symbolically, and verbally—this popular textbook provides students with numerous opportunities to master key mathematical concepts and apply critical thinking skills to reveal solutions to mathematical problems. Developed by Calculus Consortium based at Harvard University, Calculus: Multivariable uses a student-friendly approach that highlights the practical value of mathematics while reinforcing both the conceptual understanding and computational skills required to reduce complicated problems to simple procedures. The new eighth edition further reinforces the Rule of Four, offers additional problem sets and updated examples, and supports complex, multi-part questions through new visualizations and graphing questions powered by GeoGebra.
The series bridges the gap between academic researchers and R&D designers by addressing and solving daily issues, which makes it essential reading.This volume looks at theory and it's application in a practical sense, with a full account of the methods used and realistic detailed application. The authors do this by examining the latest developments, historic illustrations and mathematical fundamentals of the exciting developments in imaging and electron physics and apply them to realistic practical situations.* Emphasizes broad and in depth article collaborations between world-renowned scientists in the field of image and electron physics* Presents theory and it's application in a practical sense, providing long awaited solutions and new findings* Provides the steps in finding answers for the highly debated questions
Many in the mathematics community in the U.S. are involved in mathematics education in various capacities. This book highlights the breadth of the work in K-16 mathematics education done by members of US departments of mathematical sciences. It contains contributions by mathematicians and mathematics educators who do work in areas such as teacher education, quantitative literacy, informal education, writing and communication, social justice, outreach and mentoring, tactile learning, art and mathematics, ethnomathematics, scholarship of teaching and learning, and mathematics education research. Contributors describe their work, its impact, and how it is perceived and valued. In addition, ther...
