Calculus : early transcendentals / Howard Anton, Drexel University, Irl Bivens, Davidson College, Stephen Davis, Davidson College.

Includes index.

"This twelfth edition of Calculus maintains those aspects of previous editions that have led to the series success-we continue to strive for student comprehension without sacrificing mathematical accuracy, and the exercise sets are carefully constructed to avoid unhappy surprises that can derail a calculus class. All of the changes to the twelfth edition were carefully reviewed by outstanding teachers comprised of both users and nonusers of the previous edition. The charge of this committee was to ensure that all changes did not alter those aspects of the text that attracted users of the eleventh edition and at the same time provide freshness to the new edition that would attract new users. New to this Edition More than 25% of the exercises are either new or revised from the eleventh edition. New applied exercises have been added to the book and some existing applied exercises have been updated. Some prose in the text has been tightened to enhance clarity and student understanding"-- Provided by publisher.
