Description
Calculus is a key foundation for scientists, engineers and mathematicians. For any student who wants to master calculus, there are three critical components: mastery of the prerequisite algebra and trigonometry skills, a text that presents calculus concepts in a clear and elegant manner, and a text which includes all the classic calculus problems. Smith/Minton, 4e, is written with all three components in mind. This adaptation edition is a concise version for a faster-paced calculus course; it retains all benefits of the original edition.
Features
Clear and easy-to-understand presentation of calculus concepts.
Balanced level of rigor to ensure effective learning of the subject.
Wide range of exercises and multi-step examples including numerous classic calculus problems.
Ample opportunities for students to enhance problem-solving skills using technology such as graphic calculators and computers.
Can be used in conjunction with ALEKS Prep for Calculus at the beginning of the course to prepare students for success in the course. (ALEKS Prep for Calculus is a separate product. For more information about ALEKS, please visit: www.aleks.com/highered/math.)
