If you're an educator
Description
Clarity and precision
Thomas' Calculus helps students reach the level of mathematical proficiency and maturity you require, but with support for students who need it through its balance of clear and intuitive explanations, current applications, and generalized concepts. In the 14th SI Edition, new co-author Christopher Heil (Georgia Institute of Technology) partners with author Joel Hass to preserve what is best about Thomas' time-tested text while reconsidering every word and every piece of art with today's students in mind. The result is a text that goes beyond memorizing formulas and routine procedures to help students generalize key concepts and develop deeper understanding.
For three-semester or four-quarter courses in Calculus for students majoring in mathematics, engineering, or science
New to this edition
Co-authors Joel Hass and Chris Heil reconsidered every word, symbol, and piece of art, motivating students to consider the content from different perspectives and compelling a deeper, geometric understanding.
- Updated graphics emphasize clear visualization and mathematical correctness.
- New examples and figures have been added throughout all chapters, many based on user feedback. See, for instance, Example 3 in Section 9.1, which helps students overcome a conceptual obstacle.
- New types of homework exercises, including many geometric in nature, have been added. The new exercises provide different perspectives and approaches to each topic.
- Short URLs have been added to the historical marginnotes, allowing students to navigate directly to online information.
- New annotations within examples (in blue type) guide the student through the problem solution and emphasize that each step in a mathematical argument is rigorously justified.
- All chapters have been revised for clarity, consistency, conciseness, and comprehension.

MyLabTM Math not included. Students, if MyLab is a recommended/mandatory component of the course, please ask your instructor for the correct ISBN and course ID. MyLab should only be purchased when required by an instructor. Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more information.
- The new edition continues to expand the comprehensive auto-graded exercise options. The pre-existing exercises were carefully reviewed, vetted, and improved using aggregated student usage and performance data over time.
- A full suite of Interactive Figures has been added to support teaching and learning. The figures illustrate key concepts and allow manipulation. They have been designed to be used in lecture as well as by students independently. Videos that use the Interactive Figures to explain key concepts are included. The figures are editable using the freely available GeoGebra software. The figures were created by Marc Renault (Shippensburg University), Steve Phelps (University of Cincinnati), Kevin Hopkins (Southwest Baptist University), and Tim Brzezinski (Berlin High School, CT).
- Setup & Solve Exercises require students to first set up, then solve a problem. This better matches what they are asked to do on tests and promotes long-term retention of the skill.
- Additional Conceptual Questions augment the text exercises to focus on deeper, theoretical understanding of the key concepts in calculus. These questions were written by faculty at Cornell University under an NSF grant and are also assignable through Learning Catalytics.
- Enhanced Sample Assignments are crafted to maximize student performance in the course. These section-level assignments include: (a) personalized, just-in-time prerequisite review exercises; (b) systematic distributed practice of key concepts (such as the Chain Rule) in order to help keep skills fresh, and (c) periodic removal of learning aids to help students develop confidence in their ability to solve problems independently.
- More assignable exercises -- Instructors now have more exercises than ever to choose from in assigning homework.
- More instructional videos -- Numerous new instructional videos, featuring Greg Wisloski and Dan Radelet (both of Indiana University of PA), augment the already robust collection within the course. These videos support the overall approach of the text--specifically, they go beyond routine procedures to show students how to generalize and connect key concepts.
Features
- New co-author Chris Heil (Georgia Institute of Technology) and co-author Joel Hass continue Thomas’ tradition of developing students’ mathematical maturity and proficiency, going beyond memorizing formulas and routine procedures, and showing students how to generalize key concepts once they are introduced.
- The authors are careful to present key topics, such as the definition of the derivative, both informally and formally. The distinction between the two is clearly stated as each is developed, including an explanation as to why a formal definition is needed. Ideas are introduced with examples and intuitive explanations that are then generalized so that students are not overwhelmed by abstraction.
- A flexible table of contents divides topics into manageable sections, allowing instructors to tailor their course to meet the specific needs of their students.
- Assess student understanding of key concepts and skills through a wide range of time-tested exercises
- Writing exercises placed throughout the text ask students to explore and explain a variety of calculus concepts and applications. In addition, the end of each chapter contains a list of questions for students to review and summarize what they have learned. Many of these exercises make good writing assignments.
- Support a complete understanding of calculus for students at varying levels
- UPDATED! Figures are conceived and rendered to provide insight for students and support conceptual reasoning. In the 14th SI Edition, new figures are added to enhance understanding and graphics are revised throughout to emphasize clear visualization.
- End-of-chapter materials include review questions, practice exercises covering the entire chapter, and a series of Additional and Advanced Exercises with more challenging or synthesizing problems.
- Engage students with the power of calculus through a variety of multimedia resourcesUPDATED! Instructional videos: Hundreds of videos are available as learning aids within exercises and for self-study. The Guide to Video-Based Assignments makes it easy to assign videos for homework by showing which MyLab Math exercises correspond to each video.
- Assess student understanding of concepts and skills through a wide range of exercises.
- NEW! Setup & Solve exercises require students to first describe how they will set up and approach the problem. This reinforces conceptual understanding of the process applied in approaching the problem, promotes long term retention of the skill and mirrors what students will be expected to do on a test.
- NEW!Enhanced Sample Assignments are crafted to maximize student performance in the course. These section-level assignments include: (a) personalized, just-in-time prerequisite review exercises; (b) systematic distributed practice of key concepts (such as the Chain Rule) in order to help keep skills fresh, and (c) periodic removal of learning aids to help students develop confidence in their ability to solve problems independently.
