This bestselling author team explains concepts simply and clearly, without glossing over difficult points. Problem solving and mathematical modeling are introduced early and reinforced throughout, providing students with a solid foundation in the principles of mathematical thinking. Comprehensive and evenly paced, the book provides complete coverage of the function concept, and integrates a significant amount of graphing calculator material to help students develop insight into mathematical ideas. The authors attention to detail and clarity—the same as found in James Stewarts market-leading Calculus text—is what makes this text the proven market leader.Important Notice: Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.
