Calculus of a Single Variable: Early Transcendental Functions

Rhetoric students are ready to build on the algebra, geometry, and trigonometry they've learned through the dialectic years, seeing connections and putting to use the intricate and logical relationships of mathematics to real-world applications. The 7th edition of Calculus of a Single Variable: Early Transcendental Functions, by renowned professors Ron Larson and Bruce Edwards, provides a thorough introduction to the three main ideas of calculus: limits, derivatives, and integrals. Just some of the topics your student will explore in this text include limits and their properties; differentiation and its applications; integration and its applications; differential equations; integration techniques and improper integrals; infinite series; conics, parametric equations, and polar coordinates; vectors and the geometry of space; functions of several variables; multiple integration; vector analysis; and additional topics.

One of the fantastic features of this text is the free access it grants students to a helpful—maybe indispensable—companion website, LarsonCalculus.com. Through this site, your student can view stepped-out solutions and instruction videos any time at CalcView.com for selected exercises throughout the text, as well as see worked-out solutions and get live tutorial support for odd-numbered text exercises during designated hours at CalcChat.com.
