Designed for today's calculus students, the much-anticipated revision of Calculus: Multivariable retains its hallmark features while introducing important advances and refinements. Esteemed author team 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. In the 3rd Edition, revised exercise sets are a major focus. In response to user feedback, the authors implemented some significant changes to the exercise sets by rearranging and relabeling exercises, modifying some exercises, and adding many new ones, along with many other enhancements.
