This is the most comprehensive revision of Thomas' Calculus in 25 years. The new edition of Thomas is a return to what Thomas has always been: the book with the best exercises. For the 11th edition, the authors have added exercises cut in the 10th edition, as well as exercises and examples from the classic 5th and 6th editions.

The book's theme is that Calculus is about thinking; one cannot memorize it all. The exercises develop this theme as a pivot point between the lecture in class, and the understanding that comes with applying the ideas of Calculus.

In addition, the table of contents has been refined, introducing transcendentals in the first seven chapters. Many of the examples have been trimmed of distractions and rewritten with a clear focus on the main ideas. The authors have also excised extraneous information in general and have made the technology much more transparent.

The ambition of Thomas 11e is to teach the ideas of Calculus so that students will be able to apply them in new and novel ways, first in the exercises but ultimately in their careers. Every effort has been made to insure that all content in the new edition reinforces thinking and encourages deep understanding of the material.

  • Carefully developed exercises – the benchmark by which all other books are measured.
  • Applications to the physical world – a Thomas trademark.
  • Transparent integration of technology.
  • Complete and careful multivariable calculus section.
  • Online resources including exercises and projects.
  • Streamlined coverage of the techniques of integration.

  • The 11th edition is based on the strengths of the 5th, 6th, and 9th Editions of Thomas' Calculus.
  • New chapter on integration. Integration introduced through finite sums; indefinite integrals follow the Fundamental Theorem.
  • Proofs have been pulled out of the appendix and placed back in the body of the book. Emphasis on mathematical precision and rigor throughout, including proofs of most major results. Care is taken to point out where proofs are given and where omitted.
  • Combined treatment of 2- and 3-dimensional vectors; a single chapter on vector-valued functions.
  • Brief new appendix on the theory of real numbers emphasizing its role in calculus.
  • Limits are covered both intuitively and precisely.

    • This streamlined version of ‘Thomas’ Calculus’ provides a faster-paced, precise and accurate presentation of calculus for a college-level calculus course. ‘University Calculus’ covers both single variable and multivariable calculus and is appropriate for a three semester or four quarter course.

     

    University Calculus is the ideal choice for professors who want a faster-paced text with a more conceptually balanced exposition.  It is a blend of intuition and rigor.  Transcendental functions are introduced early, and are continually revisited in more depth in subsequent chapters of the text
