Description
This bestselling author team explains concepts simply and clearly, without glossing over difficult points. Problem solving and mathematical modeling are introduced early and reinforced throughout, providing students with a solid foundation in the principles of mathematical thinking. Comprehensive and evenly paced, the book provides complete coverage of the function concept, and integrates a significant amount of graphing calculator material to help students develop insight into mathematical ideas. The authors' attention to detail and clarity-the same as found in James Stewart's market-leading Calculus book-is what makes this book the market leader.

James Stewart received the M.S. degree from Stanford University and the Ph.D. from the University of Toronto. After two years as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of London, he became Professor of Mathematics at McMaster University. His research has been in harmonic analysis and functional analysis. Stewart's books include a series of high school textbooks as well as a best-selling series of calculus textbooks published by Cengage Learning. He is also co-author, with Lothar Redlin and Saleem Watson, of a series of college algebra and precalculus textbooks. Translations of his books include those into Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Korean, Chinese, Greek, Indonesian and Japanese. A talented violinist, Stewart was concertmaster of the McMaster Symphony Orchestra for many years and played professionally in the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra. He has given more than 20 talks worldwide on mathematics and music. Stewart was named a Fellow of the Fields Institute in 2002 and was awarded an honorary D.Sc. in 2003 by McMaster University. The library of the Fields Institute is named after him. The James Stewart Mathematics Centre was opened in October, 2003, at McMaster University. The late Lothar Redlin grew up on Vancouver Island and received a bachelor of science degree from the University of Victoria and a Ph.D. from McMaster University. He subsequently did research and taught at the University of Washington and the University of Waterloo as well as California State University, Long Beach. He was most recently a professor of mathematics at The Pennsylvania State University, Abington Campus. His research focused on topology. Dr. Redlin was a valued co-author for Dr. Stewart's best-selling calculus textbook series and his popular precalculus, college algebra and trigonometry texts. Saleem Watson received his bachelor of science degree from Andrews University in Michigan. He completed his graduate studies at Dalhousie University and McMaster University, where he received his Ph.D. Dr. Watson conducted subsequently research at the Mathematics Institute of the University of Warsaw in Poland. He taught mathematics at Pennsylvania State University before serving at California State University, Long Beach, where he is currently professor emeritus. Dr. Watson's research encompasses the field of functional analysis. Dr. Watson is an important co-author for Dr. Stewart's best-selling calculus textbook series as well as his popular precalculus, college algebra and trigonometry texts.
