T he most successful new calculus text in the last two decades The much-anticipated 3rd Edition of Briggs' Calculus Series retains its hallmark features while introducing important advances and refinements.

The groundbreaking eBook contains approximately 700 Interactive Figures that can be manipulated to shed light on key concepts.
For the 3rd Edition, the authors synthesized feedback on the text and MyLab(TM) Math content from over 140 instructors and an Engineering Review Panel. This thorough and extensive review process, paired with the authors' own teaching experiences, helped create a text that was designed for today's calculus instructors and students.

[Tom Schulte]

Only one worked arc length example. There should be at least two with at least one showing substitution.

Without the Cauchy (ε, δ)-definition of limit covered at all, this may not be rigorous enough for the requirements of some curricula.

While the preface and index refer to all content of Calculus, this volume ends with Chapter 12 "Parametric and Polar Curves".
