The authors follow a relatively standard order of presentation, while integrating technology and thought-provoking exercises throughout the text. Some minor changes have been made in the order of topics to reflect shifts in the importance of certain applications in engineering and science. This text also gives an early introduction to logarithms, exponentials and the trigonometric functions. Wherever practical, concepts are developed from graphical, numerical, and algebraic perspectives (the "Rule of Three") to give students a full understanding of calculus. This text places a significant emphasis on problem solving and presents realistic applications, as well as open-ended problems.

This textbook hasn't been too difficult to follow, and I could reccommend it. I like the on line resources that come with this book. It includes a bind-in OLC (on line Learning Center) card in it, so that you can register for the OLC from McGraw Hill. The OLC has a solutions manual, and great topics to help demistify Calculus. This book inlcludes proofs to most theorems, but a few theorems do not have proofs that follow them; the authors have left those as an exercise. This may be a negative for some, but a positive for others.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.
