Calculus I - Course Kit

Build confidence in calculus with Calculus: Early Transcendental Functions, 8th Edition by Ron Larson and Bruce Edwards. Designed to make advanced math more approachable, this text breaks down complex calculus concepts into clear, manageable lessons with strong visual explanations, guided examples, and frequent concept checks.

Students benefit from a learning experience built to remove common barriers to understanding. “Big Ideas of Calculus” notes help them see the larger concepts behind each chapter, while annotated examples, proof problems, and concept checks reinforce comprehension every step of the way. For additional support, students can access free online resources such as step-by-step solution videos, worked-out exercise help, and tutorial tools through CalcView, CalcChat, and LarsonCalculus. Interactive “Explore It” modules in WebAssign also help students develop a deeper understanding of key concepts so they can succeed not only in calculus, but in future math and science courses as well.
