Calculus

Product Information

Arc Length. Discovery Project: Arc Length Contest. Area of a Surface of Revolution. Discovery Project: Rotating on a Slant. Applications to Physics and Engineering. Discovery Project: Complementary Coffee Cups. Applications to Economics and Biology. Probability. Review. Problems Plus. QUALITY EXERCISES: With over 8000 exercises in all, each exercise set carefully progresses from skill-development problems to more challenging problems involving applications and proofs. Conceptual exercises encourage the development of communication skills by explicitly requesting descriptions, conjectures, and explanations. More challenging “Problems Plus” exercises reinforce concepts by requiring students to apply techniques from more than one chapter of the text, and by patiently showing them how to approach a challenging problem. The Calculus of Functions of Several Variables (Sloughter) This textbook corresponds with a 300-level mathematics course taught at Furman University. Students should have completed four semesters of college level calculus prior to attempting this course.

The book I am using for school that is required is not that great because it is written as if you know your math pretty well. What I mean is, you are suppose to know formulas you might have not seen before. With Stewart he explains where you get the formulas from.Sequences. Discovery Project: Logistic Sequences. Series. The Integral Test and Estimates of Sums. The Comparison Tests. Alternating Series and Absolute Convergence. The Ratio and Root Tests. Strategy for Testing Series. Power Series. Representations of Functions as Power Series. Taylor and Maclaurin Series. Discovery Project: An Elusive Limit. Writing Project: How Newton Discovered the Binomial Series. Applications of Taylor Polynomials. Applied Project: Radiation from the Stars. Review. Problems Plus. More challenging exercises called "Problems Plus" follow the end-of-chapter exercises. These sections reinforce concepts by requiring students to apply techniques from more than one chapter of the text, and by patiently showing them how to approach a challenging problem.

STEM APPLICATIONS: Stewart/Clegg/Watson answers the question, "When will I use this?" by showing how Calculus is used as a problem-solving tool in fields such as physics, engineering, chemistry, biology, medicine, and the social sciences. In short, this says, we have integral of a function over a domain. This is equal to antiderivative on boundary of domain. Stewart's writing style speaks clearly and directly to students, guiding them through key ideas, theorems, and problem-solving steps, and encouraging them to think as they read and learn calculus. CLP-4 Vector Calculus (Feldman, Rechnitzer, and Yeager) This textbook covers Vector Calculus. There are chapters on curves, vector fields, surface integrals and integral theorems (such as the divergence theorem).Modeling with Differential Equations. Direction Fields and Euler’s Method. Separable Equations. Applied Project: How Fast Does a Tank Drain? Models for Population Growth. Linear Equations. Applied Project: Which Is Faster, Going Up or Coming Down? Predator-Prey Systems. Review. Problems Plus.

Differential Calculus for the Life Sciences (Edelstein-Keshet) Calculus arose as a tool for solving practical scientific problems through the centuries. However, it is often taught as a technical subject with rules and formulas (and occasionally theorems), devoid of its connection to applications. In this course, the applications form an important focal point, with emphasis on life sciences. This places the techniques and concepts into practical context, as well as motivating quantitative approaches to biology taught to undergraduates.CLP-3 Multivariable Calculus (Feldman, Rechnitzer, and Yeager) This textbook covers multivariable Calculus. There are chapters on vectors and geometry in 2 and 3 dimensions, partial derivatives, and multivariable integrals.

Calculating Limits Using the Limit Laws. The Precise Definition of a Limit. Continuity. Review. Principles of Problem Solving. TLDR: If you are a student, you're probably required to get this, so just buy it because it'll last you through most of the calculus classes that you'll be taking unless you pursue even more advanced math. Anyone who is buying this should definitely use this in conjunction with other resources which I'll mention at the bottom. If you are a self-study with no professor to reach out to looking for an all-in-one resource, I recommend staying away from this textbook. Honestly, the resources I'll recommend at the bottom are probably sufficient for pretty much anyone interested in basic calculus.

Book: Active Calculus (Boelkins et al.) The style of the Active Calculus text requires students to be active learners — there are very few worked examples in the text, with there instead being 3-4 activities per section that engage students in connecting ideas, solving problems, and developing understanding of key calculus concepts; each section begins with motivating questions, a brief introduction, and a preview activity, all of which are designed to be read and completed prior to class; the exercises are few in number.
