Published in the year 2006, Calculus is a book that provides its readers with detailed insight into the subject of Calculus.

Summary Of The Book

Calculus is a book that has been designed with the intent of providing students with a comprehensive guide into the world of calculus. This book was the first to combine extensive verbalization and geometric visualization to present its readers with a complete guide for the subject. In this book, the readers are also presented with a great deal of problem exercises, which will test their understanding of the subject. The answers for the same have also been included at the end of the book.

In total, there are 14 chapters in this book. The chapters include Differentiation, Methods of Integration, Functions and Graphs, Limits and Continuity, Integration, Additional Applications of the Derivative, Introduction to Vector Analysis, and Partial Differentiation. Other chapters include Vectors in the Plane and in Space, Infinite Series, Multiple Integration, Vector-Valued Functions, and Introduction to Differential Equations. Additionally, this book also comes with a set of 6 appendices, covering topics such as Significant Digits, Introduction to the Theory of Limits, Trigonometric Formulas, Short Table of Integrals, Selected Proofs, and Answers to Odd-Numbered Problems.

In this third edition, the readers are also presented with insight into the various applications of calculus, which include economics, life sciences, and business. The portion of the text covering Multivariable Calculus has been rewritten, and a new set of problem exercises have been included. This book also comes with a free CD, as practically every text example in this book has an animation to accompany it, which is included in the disk. In this revised and updated edition, readers are also provided with detailed information pertaining to differential equations, providing them with a base for further studies. This book also contains updated information on the subjects of polar coordinates and parametric forms.
