• 760 new, updated, and improved exercises, including many new mid-level exercises, provide more ways for you to address your students’ needs
• New examples in many sections clarify or deepen the meaning of the topics covered and help students understand their mathematical applications and consequences to science and engineering.
• 75 new figures have been added, and many others have been revised to enhance conceptual understanding.
• MyMathLab now has more than 7,000 assignable exercises, including 670 that address prerequisite skills, giving you the selection you need to create the right homework assignments and assessments.
• Content revisions are apparent throughout the text, and many of these changes were driven by suggestions from users:
• Limits: to improve the flow of the chapter on limits, the authors have combined the ideas of limits involving infinity and their associations with asymptotes to the graphs of functions, placing them in the final section of the chapter.
• Differentiation: to coalesce the derivative concept into a single chapter, the authors have moved the section “Tangents and the Derivative at a Point” from the end of Chapter 2 to the beginning of Chapter 3. In addition, they have reorganized and increased the number of the related rates examples in Section 3.10, and have added new examples and exercises on graphing rational functions in Section 4.4.
• Integration coverage has been improved. Integrals, as “limits of Riemann sums,” motivated primarily by the problem of finding the areas of general regions with curved boundaries, now form the substance of Chapter 5. After carefully developing the integral concept, the authors turn the focus to its evaluation and connection to antiderivatives captured in the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. The ensuing applications then define the various geometric ideas of area, volume, lengths of paths, and centroids all as limits of Riemann sums giving definite integrals, which can be evaluated by finding an antiderivative of the integrand.
• Parametric equations have been moved to Chapter 10, joining polar coordinates and conic sections, in order to better prepare students for coverage of vectors and multivariable calculus.
• Series coverage is more accessible to students with the addition of a number of new figures and exercises as well as the revision of some of the proofs related to convergence of power series.
• Vector-valued functions coverage has been streamlined to place more emphasis on the conceptual ideas supporting the later material on partial derivatives, the gradient vector, and line integrals.
• Multivariable calculus: the authors have reorganized the opening material on double integrals, and combined the applications of double and triple integrals to masses and moments into a single section covering both two- and three-dimensional cases. This reorganization allows for better flow of the key mathematical concepts, together with their properties and computational aspects.
• Vector Fields: important theorems and results are stated more clearly and completely together with enhanced explanations of their hypotheses and mathematical consequences. The area of a surface is now organized into a single section, and surfaces defined implicitly or explicitly are treated as special cases of the more general parametric representation. Surface integrals and their applications then follow as a separate section.
• Differential equations: The authors give an introductory treatment of first-order differential equations in Chapter 16, including a new section on systems and phase planes, with applications to the competitive-hunter and predator-prey models.  An introduction to second-order differential equations is in Chapter 17. Both of these chapters are available for download on the Thomas' Calculus website (www.pearsonhighered.com/thomas).

 

• The exercises are known for their breadth and quality, with carefully constructed exercise sets that progress from skills problems to applied and theoretical problems. The text contains more than 8,000 exercises in all.
• End-of-chapter exercises feature review questions, practice exercises covering the entire chapter, and a series of Additional and Advanced Exercises.
• Figures are conceived and rendered to support conceptual reasoning and provide insight for students. They are also consistently captioned to aid understanding.
• 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. For example, the precise definition of the limit is contained in its own section and may be skipped.
• Complete and precise multivariable coverage enhances the connections of multivariable ideas with their single-variable analogues studied earlier in the book.
• A robust MyMathLab course contains more than 7,000 assignable exercises, a complete e-book, and built-in tutorials so students can get help whenever they need it.
• A complete suite of instructor and student supplements saves class preparation time for instructors and improves students’ learning.

George B. Thomas, Jr. (late) of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was a professor of mathematics for thirty-eight years; he served as the executive officer of the department for ten years and as graduate registration officer for five years. Thomas held a spot on the board of governors of the Mathematical Association of America and on the executive committee of the mathematics division of the American Society for Engineering Education. His book, Calculus and Analytic Geometry, was first published in 1951 and has since gone through multiple revisions. The text is now in its twelfth edition and continues to guide students through their calculus courses. He also co-authored monographs on mathematics, including the text Probability and Statistics.
