Thomas Calculus, 13th Edition

Product Description

Thomas’ Calculus, Thirteenth Edition, introduces students to the intrinsic beauty of calculus and the power of its applications. For more than half a century, this text has been revered for its clear and precise explanations, thoughtfully chosen examples, superior figures and time-tested exercise sets. With this new edition, the exercises were refined, updated and expanded—always with the goal of developing technical competence while furthering students’ appreciation of the subject. Co-authors Hass and Weir have made it their passion to improve the text in keeping with the shifts in both the preparation and ambitions of today’s students.

Features Features:

• Strong exercise sets feature a great breadth of problems–progressing from skills problems to applied and theoretical problems–to encourage students to think about and practice the concepts until they achieve mastery

• Figures are conceived and rendered to provide insight for students and support conceptual reasoning

• The flexible table of contents divides complex topics into manageable sections, allowing instructors to tailor their course to meet the specific needs of their students

• Complete and precise multivariable coverage enhances the connections of multivariable ideas with their single-variable analogues studied earlier in the book.
New to this edition:

• Two new sections:
o Basic integration formulas and the Substitution Rules combined with algebraic methods and trigonometric identities
o Probability as an application of improper integrals to making predictions for probabilistic models, with a wide range of applications in business and sciences

• Updated and new art and additional tables, supporting examples and exercises throughout
