Learn everything you need to know about Calculus and practice your reasoning and practical skills with a high-end textbook suitable for a wide range of course levels.
Calculus: A Complete Course, 10th Edition by Robert Adams and Christopher Essex is the ultimate guide written by two leading authors in the field that continues to build its solid core following the successful pattern of its previous editions.
With its reader-friendly language, the textbook holds a reputation for excellent accuracy and mathematical rigour, offering you study material suitable to cover a standard semester course, as well as high-end content that will help you further explore some of the unique topics and approaches in the landscape of Mathematics.
Adding important, but overlooked topics while clarifying old ones, this edition will help you develop and practice your reasoning skills and apply techniques you have learned to concrete situations. Some of the topics this edition explores include:
- Sufficient conditions for maxima and minima in higher dimensions: this is the only mainstream textbook that covers the topic sufficiently.
- The fuzzy topic of metrics: the text explores and addresses any issues and questions, leading to new gateway topics, including spherical geometry (as in navigation) and special relativity, which emerge rather effortlessly once the metric concept is in place properly.
- Computers and mathematics through Maple and now Python: there is no other Calculus book that deals better with the topic while treating unique but important applications from information theory to Lévy distributions.
