Description
This best selling author team explains concepts simply and clearly, without glossing over difficult points. Problem solving and mathematical modeling are introduced early and reinforced throughout, so that when students finish the course, they have a solid foundation in the principles of mathematical thinking. This comprehensive, evenly paced book provides complete coverage of the function concept and integrates substantial graphing calculator materials that help students develop insight into mathematical ideas. The authors' attention to detail and clarity, as in James Stewart's market-leading Calculus text, is what makes this text the market leader.

Features
New To This Edition
- All of the chapters (other than Chapter 1) are now followed by a "Focus on Modeling" section. Chapter 1 is now the only chapter to be followed by a "Problem Solving" section.
- This edition includes several new Discovery Projects, for example the Discovery Project in 2.2 on "Relations and Functions," which was added to satisfy those users who asked for some material on relations.
- More than 20% of the exercises are new, including many more application exercises. Many others have been updated and revised.
- Each chapter now begins with a one-page "Chapter Overview" to introduce the ideas of the chapter and indicate how they can be applied to the real world.
- There are six new "Focus on Modeling" sections, containing high-interest applications ranging from surveying to architecture.
- Each exercise section now contains a special group heading for "Applications" exercises, to give these more prominence and to make them easier to assign. Each such exercise has a title to clarify its purpose at a glance.
- One of the very long chapters (Chapter 7, Analytic Trigonometry) has been shortened, and the extra material from it, plus some related sections from the Analytic Geometry chapter (previously Chapter 9), have been combined into a new, more logically structured Chapter 8: Polar Coordinates and Vectors.
- Based on reviewer feedback, the chapter on probability (formerly Chapter 11) was deleted. For those who want to use this chapter, it is available as a student resource on the Book Companion Website for the text (at www.brookscole.com/math).
