Features
F E AT U R E S
• Strong exercise sets feature a great breadth of problems—progressing from skills problems to applied and theoretical problems—to encourage students to think about and practice the concepts until they achieve mastery.
• Complete and precise multivariable coverage enhances the connections of multivariable ideas with their single-variable analogues studied earlier in the book.
NEW TO THIS EDITION
• Updated graphics emphasize clear visualization and mathematical correctness.
• New examples and fi¬gures have been added throughout all chapters, based on user feedback.
• New types of homework exercises, including many geometric in nature, have been added to provide different perspectives and approaches to each topic.
• Short URLs have been added to the historical margin notes, allowing students to navigate directly to online information.
• New annotations within examples guide the student through the problem solution and emphasize that each step in a mathematical argument is rigorously justifi¬ed.
