Available for fall 2020 classes The DIGITAL UPDATE gives you revised content and resources that keep your course current
The most successful new calculus text in the last two decades The much-anticipated 3rd Edition of Briggs' Calculus: Early Transcendentals retains its hallmark features while introducing important advances and refinements. Briggs, Cochran, Gillett, and Schulz build from a foundation of meticulously crafted exercise sets, then draw students into the narrative through writing that reflects the voice of the instructor. Examples are stepped out and thoughtfully annotated, and figures are designed to teach rather than simply supplement the narrative. The groundbreaking eText contains approximately 700 Interactive Figures that can be manipulated to shed light on key concepts. For the 3rd Edition, the authors synthesized feedback on the text and MyLab(TM) Math content from over 140 instructors. This thorough and extensive review process, paired with the authors' own teaching experiences, helped create a text that is designed for today's calculus instructors and students.
This MyLab Update of the 3rd Edition introduces a much requested change: The Wolfram CDF Player has been replaced by Wolfram Cloud. So the interactive eText with its 700 Interactive Figures now runs on all browsers, with no plug-in required! Upgrade now to take advantage of this great new feature!
