This popular text emphasizes clarity and brevity like no other mainstream text: This is still the leanest, major calculus text. Like its predecessor, the Seventh Edition features a "natural" approach to calculus. It seeks to be correct without being overly rigorous and up-to- date without being faddish. Highly praised elements from previous editions return including: --a strong geometric/conceptual emphasis. --emphasis on explanation rather than detailed proofs. --consistent definitions are included throughout to maintain a clear, conceptual framework. --linearity is emphasized as an important idea and vectors are written as n-tuples as well as in ijk-form. --sections of about equal length (one day's lesson) set a pace for clearer understanding of the material presented. --carefully graded problem sets with plenty of applications. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
