Description
This package includes a physical copy of Calculus: A Complete Course, 8th edition by Robert A. Adams and Christopher Essex, as well as access to the eText and MyMathLab.
To access the eText and MyMathLab you need a course ID from your instructor.
For the three-semester calculus course.
Proven in North America and abroad, this classic text has earned a reputation for excellent accuracy and mathematical rigour. Previous editions have been praised for providing complete and precise statements of theorems, using geometric reasoning in applied problems, and for offering a range of applications across the sciences. Written in a clear, coherent, and readable form, Calculus: A Complete Course makes student comprehension a clear priority.
Dr. Christopher Essex joined Bob Adams as a new co-author on the 7th edition and has an expanded role in the 8th edition. Instructors and students will appreciate new and expanded examples, new exercises, and a new Chapter 17: Differential Forms and Exterior Calculus.
MyLab and Mastering from Pearson improve results for students and educators. Used by over ten million students, they effectively engage learners at every stage.
MyMathLab is being used in universities all over the world to improve student performance. MyMathLab has immersive content and engaging tools, along with time-saving automatic grading. "MyMathLab is everything that I need to get good results from my students. ... It saves me a lot of time so I have more time to do what I really should do and that's teach and help my students." - Dr Morten Brekke, Agder University, Norway.
With MyMathLab, students gain knowledge that they will use throughout their lives, and universities gain a partner deeply committed to helping students and educators achieve their goals.
For students
Personalised study plan: MyMathLab gives you the opportunity to test yourself on key concepts and skills and generates a study plan based on topics you have not yet mastered. The study plan links to interactive exercises with guidance, to give you help when you need it most.
Pearson eText gives you access to an eBook that can be used on the go, and allows you to highlight, search and take notes as you read online. Access to the eBook depends on the package you have bought.
Help Me Solve This breaks the problem down into manageable chunks so you can work through the methodology a stage at a time, applying what you've learnt as you go along.
The questions are free response so you can give truly mathematical answers using the intuitive yet comprehensive maths palette or the graphing tool.
For educators
Online assignments, tests, quizzes can be easily created and assigned to students.
Gradebook: Assignments are automatically graded and visible at a glance.

Person
Robert Adams joined the Mathematics Department at the University of British Columbia in 1966 after completing a Ph.D. in Mathematics at the University of Toronto. His research interests in analysis led to the 1975 publication of a monograph, Sobolev Spaces, by Academic Press. It remained in print for 23 years. A second edition, joint with his colleague Professor John Fournier, was published in 2003. Professor Adams's teaching interests led to the 1982 publication of the first of his many calculus texts by Addison Wesley. These texts are now used worldwide. With a keen interest in computers, mathematical typesetting, and illustration, in 1984 Professor Adams became the first Canadian author to typeset his own textbooks using TeX on a personal computer. Since then he has also done all the illustrations for his books using the MG software program that he developed with his colleague, Professor Robert Israel. Now retired from UBC, Professor Adams is currently pursuing his interest in the Linux operating system.
Dr. Christopher Essex is Professor and Associate Chair in the Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Western Ontario. He is a former director of its Theoretical Physics Program. He is an award-winning teacher and author. In 2012-13 Chris has become the first ever Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar from a Canadian university.
Dr. Essex did pioneering work on the thermodynamics of photon and neutrino radiation. Among many international invitations to speak on this topic, he has taught at the UNESCO advanced school in Udine, Italy, and in 2011 his work was featured at the Joint European Thermodynamics Conference held in Chemnitz, Germany. Professor Essex is also co-discoverer of the entropy production paradox of anomalous superdiffusion. He also discovered, while a guest of the Vatican, modern mathematics (Sierpinski triangles) embedded in the ancient floor tiles of the Sistine Chapel and elsewhere in the Vatican museum.
Professor Essex held an NSERC (Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada) postdoctoral fellowship at the Canadian Climate Centre to work on its big climate model. He was first appointed to the governing council of NSERC in 2006 and reappointed in 2009.
His work also includes applications of dynamical systems theory, such as chaos cryptography, and recently the limits of modelling and computation, among other applications of mathematics.
