Description
Thomas' Calculus goes beyond memorising formulas and routine procedures to help you develop deeper understanding. It guides you to a level of mathematical proficiency, with additional support if needed through its clear and intuitive explanations, current applications and generalised concepts. Technology exercises in every section use the calculator or computer for solving problems, and Computer Explorations offer exercises requiring a computer algebra system like Maple or Mathematica. The 15th Edition adds exercises, revises figures and language for clarity, and updates many applications; new online chapters cover Complex Functions, Fourier Series and Wavelets.
