Summary

Calculus hasnrs"t changed, but your students have. Many of todayrs"s students have seen calculus before at the high school level. However, professors report nationwide that students come into their calculus courses with weak backgrounds in algebra and trigonometry, two areas of knowledge vital to the mastery of calculus.Thomasrs" Calculus, Media Upgrade, Eleventh Editionresponds to the needs of todayrs"s students by developing their conceptual understanding while maintaining a rigor appropriate to the calculus course. For todayrs"s student on the go, this portable version of Thomas'Calculus is three-hole punched so students can take only what they need to class, incorporate their own notes, and save money! Each Books agrave; la Carte text arrives with a laminated study card, perfect for students to use when preparing for exams, plus access to MyMathLab.Thomasrs" Calculus, Media Upgrade, Eleventh Editionis now available with an enhanced MyMathLab trade; coursethe ultimate homework, tutorial and study solution for todayrs"s students. The enhanced MyMathLab course includes a rich and flexible set of course materials and features innovative Javatrade; Applets, Group Projects, and new MathXL reg; exercises. This text is also available with WebAssign reg; and WeBWorK reg; .
