The book's theme is that Calculus is about thinking; one cannot memorize it all. The exercises develop this theme as a pivot point between the lecture in class, and the understanding that comes with applying the ideas of Calculus. In addition, the table of contents has been refined to match the standard syllabus. Many of the examples have been trimmed of distractions and rewritten with a clear focus on the main ideas. The authors have also excised extraneous information in general and have made the technology much more transparent. The ambition of this new edition is to teach the ideas of Calculus so that students will be able to apply them in new and novel ways, first in the exercises but ultimately in their careers. Every effort has been made to insure that all content in the new edition reinforces thinking and encourages deep understanding of the material. This book is packaged with MATLAB(r), a high-level language and interactive environment that lets students focus on their course work and applications, rather than on programming details.
It enables students to solve many numerical problems in a fraction of the time it takes to write a program in a lower-level language such as Java , C, C++, or Fortran. You can also use MATLAB to analyze and visualize data using automation capabilities, thereby avoiding the manual repetition common with other products. The MATLAB in Student Version provides all the features and capabilities of the professional version of MATLAB software, with no limitations. There are a few small differences between the Student Version interface and the professional version of MATLAB
