Chapter 0 Preliminaries -- Chapter 1 Limits and continuity -- Chapter 2 Differentiation -- Chapter 3 Applications of differentiation -- Chapter 4 Integration -- Chapter 5 Applications of the definite integral -- Chapter 6 Differential equations -- Chapter 7 Infinite series -- Chapter 8 Vectors and the geometry of space-- Chapter 9 Vectors-valued functions -- Chapter 10 Functions of several variables and partial differentiation -- Chapter 11 Multiple integrals -- Chapter 12 Vector calculus.

Summary: This modern calculus textbook places a strong emphasis on developing students' conceptual understanding and on building connections between key calculus topics and their relevance for the real world. It is written for the average student -- one who is mostly unfamiliar with the subject and who requires significant motivation. It follows a relatively standard order of presentation, with early coverage of transcendentals, and integrates thought-provoking applications, examples and exercises throughout. The text also provides balanced guidance on the appropriate role of technology in problem-solving, including its benefits and its potential pitfalls. Wherever practical, concepts are developed from graphical, numerical, algebraic and verbal perspectives (the "Rule of Four") to give students a complete understanding of calculus. --Provided by the Publisher
