Now in its 15th Edition, Thomas’ Calculus is the calculus textbook that generations of STEM students have learned from. Authors Joel Hass, Christopher Heil, and Przemyslaw Bogacki guide you to a level of mathematical proficiency, with support as needed through clear and intuitive explanations, current applications, and generalized concepts.
This textbook will help you move past memorized procedures to genuine understanding of calculus, beginning with foundational topics—such as integrals, transcendental functions, techniques of integration, limits and continuity, and derivatives and their applications—and then moving to advanced topics—including vectors, partial derivatives, multiple integrals, vector calculus, infinite sequences and series, and parametric equations and polar coordinates. Carefully paced examples and exercise sets will help you generalize concepts from single-variable to multivariable calculus.
The 15th Edition adds exercises, updates many applications, and revises figures and language for clarity. New online chapters cover complex functions, Fourier series, and wavelets.
