The author achieved this relative brevity primarily by condensing the exposition and by putting some of the features on the book's website, www.
Despite the more compact size, the book has a modern flavor, covering technology and incorporating material to promote conceptual understanding, though not as prominently as in Stewart's other books.
In writing the book, James Stewart asked himself: What is essential for a three-semester calculus course for scientists and engineers? Calculus is an extremely powerful tool for solving a host of practical problems in fields as diverse as physics, biology, and economics, to mention just a few.
In this rigorous but accessible text, a noted mathematician introduces undergraduate-level students to the problem-solving techniques that make a working knowledge of calculus. 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? A more intuitive approach to the mathematical foundation of computer science Discrete mathematics is the basis of much of computer science, from algorithms and automata theory to combinatorics and graph theory.
This textbook covers the discrete mathematics that every computer science student needs to learn. The Stewart Calculus series includes several other calculus textbooks that might be preferable for some instructors. Most of them also come in single variable and multivariable versions. The relative brevity is achieved through briefer exposition of some topics and putting some features on the website.
The coverage of topics is not encyclopedic and the material on transcendental functions and on parametric equations is woven throughout the book instead of being treated in separate chapters. The overall structure of the text remains largely the same, but we have made many improvements that are intended to make the Ninth Edition even more usable as a teaching tool for instructors and as a learning tool for students.
The changes are a result of conversations with our colleagues and students, suggestions from users and reviewers, insights gained from our own experiences teaching from the book, and from the copious notes that James Stewart entrusted to us about changes that he wanted us to consider for the new edition.
In all the changes, both small and large, we have retained the features and tone that have contributed to the success of this book. These exercises are intended to build student confidence and reinforce understanding of the fundamental concepts of a section. See, for instance, Exercises 7.
Some new exercises include graphs intended to encourage students to understand how a graph facilitates the solution of a problem; these exercises complement subsequent exercises in which students need to supply their own graph. Many excellent textbooks are available for use in an undergraduate course in single-variable calculus. There are also many web sites on the Internet authored by individuals who have generously placed their materials there for your use.
Some are even hosted by professional publishers. You have access to these materials because you have purchased this book, so I do not try to duplicate their contents here. If you want to learn calculus, then this is the tutorial blog that will help you learn the subject in no time. We have here all sorts of topics that will help you improve your subject from the basics to the challenging ones.
Calculus is mandatory subject for almost all students. Differentiable functions. Leibniz notation. Average and instantaneous velocity. Projectile paths. Rates of change. Marginal cost. Epsilon-delta definition. Limit laws. Trigonometric limits. Continuous functions. The Mean Value Theorem. The Extreme Value Theorem. The Intermediate Value Theorem.
Fermat's theorem. Prerequisite mathematics: Elementary algebra. Real numbers. The Slope of the Tangent Line 2. The Definition of the Derivative 3. Velocity and Rates of Change 4. Limits 5. He holds degrees in mathematics and statistics from Stanford University and the University of Colorado.
Tim has written guides for calculus, trigonometry, algebra, geometry, precalculus, permutations and combinations, debt, mortgages, and Excel pivot tables. When he's not crunching numbers, Tim climbs rocks, hikes canyons, and avoids malls.
In this Fifth Edition, Stewart retains the focus on problem solving and the pedagogical system that has worked so well for students in a wide variety of colleges and universities throughout the world. He has made refinements to the exposition and examples, to ensure that students have the best materials available. Further support for students and instructors is now available through a vast array of supplementary material.
The Enhanced Edition of Stewart's Essential Calculus: Early Transcendentals is accompanied by an WebAssign course, featuring thousands of additional algorithmic problems, stepped out solutions, and new learning tools for students.
The Enhanced Edition also offers an online version of the textbook in the form of an eBook, giving students the opportunity to access their textbook from anywhere.
Students have access to the Quick Start Guide for WebAssign, which allows seamless transition from the original text to the enhanced book. Essential Calculus: Early Transcendentals, Enhanced edition contains almost all of the same topics as the large text. LEVEL: This book covers waves, fluids, sound, heat, and light from physics with calculus at the university level.
If instead you're looking for a trig-based physics book, search for ISBN Note that the calculus-based edition includes all of material from the trig-based book, plus coverage of the calculus-based material. In this volume, the calculus is mostly limited to thermal physics.
