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.
Calculus: Single Variable, 8th Edition promotes active learning by providing students across multiple majors with a variety of problems with applications from the physical sciences, medicine, economics, engineering, and more. Designed to promote critical thinking to solve mathematical problems while highlighting the practical value of mathematics, the textbook brings calculus to real life with engaging and relevant examples, numerous opportunities to master key mathematical concepts and skills, and a student-friendly approach that reinforces the conceptual understanding necessary to reduce complicated problems to simple procedures. Developed by the Harvard University Calculus Consortium, Calculus focuses on the Rule of Four—viewing problems graphically, numerically, symbolically, and verbally—with particular emphasis placed on introducing a variety of perspectives for students with different learning styles. The eighth edition provides more problem sets, up-to-date examples, and a range of new multi-part graphing questions and visualizations powered by GeoGebra that reinforce the Rule of Four and strengthen students’ comprehension.
Functions Modeling Change, 6th edition prepares students for Calculus by stressing conceptual understanding and the connections among mathematical ideas. The authors emphasize depth of understanding rather than breadth of coverage. Each function is presented symbolically, numerically, graphically and verbally (the Rule of Four.) Students are encouraged to create mathematical models that relate to the world around them and are exposed to a large number of real-world applications, examples, and problems.
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.
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.
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.
