Thomas Calculus (14th Edition)

Description

Thomas’ Calculus, Fourteenth Edition, introduces students to the intrinsic beauty of calculus and the power of its applications. For more than half a century, this text has been revered for its clear and precise explanations, thoughtfully chosen examples, superior figures, and time-tested exercise sets.

Key Features

• Strong exercise sets feature a great breadth of problems—progressing from skills problems to applied and theoretical problems—to encourage students to think about and practice the concepts until they achieve mastery.
• Complete and precise multivariable coverage enhances the connections of multivariable ideas with their single-variable analogues studied earlier in the book.

New to this Edition

• Updated graphics emphasize clear visualization and mathematical correctness.
• New examples and figures have been added throughout all chapters, based on user feedback.
• New types of homework exercises, including many geometric in nature, have been added to provide different perspectives and approaches to each topic.
• Short URLs have been added to the historical margin notes, allowing students to navigate directly to online information.
• New annotations within examples guide the student through the problem solution and emphasize that each step in a mathematical argument is rigorously justified.
