Description University Calculus is the ideal choice for professors who want a faster-paced text with a more conceptually balanced exposition. It is a blend of intuition and rigor. Transcendental functions are introduced early, and are continually revisited in more depth in subsequent chapters of the text
Features
Strong examples and exercise sets: encouraging students to think clearly about the problems and reinforcing their mathematical intuition
Early Transcendentals presentation: introducing interesting applications sooner by relating calculus concepts to real world phenomenon
Exceptional Art: captions and multifigured images providing insight for students that supports conceptual reasoning
Strong Multivariable Coverage: helping students progress from single variable to multivariable calculus.

Joel Hass received his PhD from the University of California-Berkeley. He is currently a professor of mathematics at the University of California-Davis. He has coauthored six widely used calculus texts as well as two calculus study guides. He is currently on the editorial board of Geometriae Dedicata and Media-Enhanced Mathematics. He has been a member of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton University and of the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, and he was a Sloan Research Fellow. Hass's current areas of research include the geometry of proteins, three dimensional manifolds, applied math, and computational complexity. In his free time, Hass enjoys kayaking.
