Success in your calculus course starts here! James Stewart’s CALCULUS texts are world-wide best-sellers for a reason: they are clear, accurate, and filled with relevant, real-world examples. With CALCULUS, International Metric Sixth Edition, Stewart conveys not only the utility of calculus to help you develop technical competence, but also gives you an appreciation for the intrinsic beauty of the subject. His patient examples and built-in learning aids will help you build your mathematical confidence and achieve your goals in the course!

The present book is meant as a text for a course on complex analysis at the advanced undergraduate level, or first-year graduate level. The first half, more or less, can be used for a one-semester course addressed to undergraduates. The second half can be used for a second semester, at either level. Somewhat more material has been included than can be covered at leisure in one or two terms, to give opportunities for the instructor to exercise individual taste, and to lead the course in whatever directions strikes the instructor’s fancy at the time as well as extra read- ing material for students on their own. A large number of routine exer- cises are included for the more standard portions, and a few harder exercises of striking theoretical interest are also included, but may be omitted in courses addressed to less advanced students. In some sense, I think the classical German prewar texts were the best (Hurwitz-Courant, Knopp, Bieberbach, etc. ) and I would recommend to anyone to look through them.

Designed for first-year developmental math students who need support in beginning algebra, Elementary Algebra owes its success to the hallmark features for which the Larson team is known: learning by example, accessible writing style, emphasis on visualization, and comprehensive exercise sets. These pedagogical features are carefully coordinated to ensure that students are better able to make connections between mathematical concepts and understand the content.

The new Student Support Edition continues the Larson tradition of guided learning by incorporating a comprehensive range of student success materials throughout the text. Additionally, instructors and students alike can track progress with HM Assess, a new online diagnostic assessment and remediation tool from Houghton Mifflin.

The cornerstone of ELEMENTARY LINEAR ALGEBRA, 6e, INTERNATIONAL EDITION is the authors’ clear, careful, and concise presentation of materialuwritten so that students can fully understand how mathematics works. This program balances theory with examples, applications, and geometric intuition for a complete, step-by-step learning system.The Sixth Edition incorporates up-to-date coverage of Computer Algebra Systems (Maple/MATLAB/Mathematica); additional support is provided in a corresponding technology guide. Data and applications also reflect current statistics and examples to engage students and demonstrate the link between theory and practice.

This book is a response to those instructors who feel that calculus textbooks are too big. In writing the book James Stewart asked himself:What is essential for a three-semester calculus course for scientists and engineers? Stewart’s ESSENTIAL CALCULUS: EARLY TRANSCENDENTALS offers a concise approach to teaching calculus, focusing on major concepts and supporting those with precise definitions, patient explanations, and carefully graded problems. ESSENTIAL CALCULUS: EARLY TRANSCENDENTALS is only 850 pages-two-thirds the size of Stewart’s other calculus texts (CALCULUS, Fifth Edition and CALCULUS, EARLY TRANSCENDENTALS, Fifth Edition)-yet it contains almost all of the same topics. The author achieved this relative brevity mainly by condensing the exposition and by putting some of the features on the website www.StewartCalculus.com. Despite the reduced size of the book, there is still a modern flavor: Conceptual understanding and technology are not neglected, though they are not as prominent as in Stewart’s other books

This text offers a treatment of probability focused on problem solving. Each topic moves from the specific to the general, beginning with one or more examples to lead into the theoretical results. A large number of examples and carefully chosen exercises relate applications to everyday life.

This text emphasizes the logic of statistics, data analysis, and its application to real studies through a concrete and intuitive approach. Understanding statistical concepts and making sense of data is facilitated by use of the computer as a pedagogical tool to help students gain the ability to understand variation and conduct research. The mathematics of statistics is de-emphasized.

Based on the best-selling series by the Aufmann team, this text for the intermediate algebra course adheres to the formula that has made the Aufmann developmental texts so reliable for both students and instructors. The text’s clear writing style, emphasis on problem-solving strategies, and proven Aufmann Interactive Methoduin an objective-based frameworkuoffer guided learning for both lecture and self-paced courses. The completely integrated learning system is organized by objectives. Each chapter begins with a list of learning objectives, which are woven throughout the text, in Exercises, Chapter Tests, and Cumulative Reviews, as well as through the print and multimedia ancillaries. The result is a seamless, easy-to-follow learning system. This special MEDIA ENHANCED INTERNATIONAL EDITION now comes with Enhanced WebAssign and flash videos for every end of chapter test question available online through the student website.

Product details

This text has a highly applied and computational focus. It combines the important underlying theory discussions with examples from electrical engineering, computer science, physics, biology, and economics. There are twice as many examples in this edition as there were in previous editions. Many new exercises appear in the sections and in the chapter reviews, especially exercises that are simple but instructive. An expanded list of computer codes in an appendix and more computer-solvable exercises in the text reflect Strang’s interest in computational linear algebra.

Get ready to master the fundamentals of trigonometry! Master Math: Trigonometry is a comprehensive reference guide that explains and clarifies the principles of
