Calculus: Single Variable, 8th Edition promotes active learning by
providing students across multiple majors with a variety of problems
with applications from the physical sciences, medicine, economics,
engineering, and more. Designed to promote critical thinking to solve
mathematical problems while highlighting the practical value of
mathematics, the textbook brings calculus to real life with engaging and
relevant examples, numerous opportunities to master key mathematical
concepts and skills, and a student-friendly approach that reinforces the
conceptual understanding necessary to reduce complicated problems to
simple procedures.
Developed by the Harvard University Calculus Consortium, Calculus
focuses on the Rule of Four--viewing problems graphically, numerically,
symbolically, and verbally--with particular emphasis placed on
introducing a variety of perspectives for students with different
learning styles. The eighth edition provides more problem sets,
up-to-date examples, and a range of new multi-part graphing questions
and visualizations powered by GeoGebra that reinforce the Rule of Four
and strengthen students' comprehension.
