Calculus: A Modern Approach, Premiere Edition

by Robert T. Smith, Roland B. Minton

Written for students majoring in mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering and related fields, this text's presentation is fresh, utilizing all possible resources to help students understand calculus. Written from the ground up with technology integrated, Smith/Minton keeps calculus front and center while integrating technology where it is appropriate.

The table of contents of this text is primarily traditional, although some minor changes have been made to reflect shifts in the importance of certain applications in engineering and science. This text also gives an early introduction to logarithms, exponentials and the trigonometric functions. Wherever practical, concepts are developed from graphical, numerical, and algebraic perspectives (the "Rule of Three") to give students a full understanding of calculus. This text places a greater emphasis on problem solving and presents more realistic applications, as well as open-ended problems.
