Description

Briggs/Cochran is the most successful new calculus series published in the last two decades. The authors' years of teaching experience resulted in a text that reflects how students generally use a textbook: they start in the exercises and refer back to the narrative for help as needed. The text therefore builds from a foundation of meticulously crafted exercise sets, then draws students into the narrative through writing that reflects the voice of the instructor, examples that are stepped out and thoughtfully annotated, and figures that are designed to teach rather than simply supplement the narrative. The authors appeal to students' geometric intuition to introduce fundamental concepts, laying a foundation for the rigorous development that follows. *This book covers chapters single variable topics (chapters 1-12) of Calculus for Scientists and Engineers, by the same authors. KEY TOPICS: Functions; Limits; Derivatives; Applications of the Derivative; Integration; Applications of Integration; Logarithmic and Exponential Functions; Integration Techniques; Differential Equations; Sequences and Infinite Series; Power Series; Parametric and Polar Curves MARKET: For all readers interested in calculus. 0321844564 / 9780321844569 Calculus for Scientists and Engineers, Single Variable plus MyMathLab Student Access Kit Package consists of: 0321431308 / 9780321431301 MyMathLab/MyStatLab -- Glue-in Access Card 0321654064 / 9780321654069 MyMathLab Inside Star Sticker 032182671X / 9780321826718 Calculus for Scientists and Engineers, Single Variable
