Calculus: Early Transcendentals plus LaunchPad

Consistent in its use of language and notation, Sullivan and Miranda’s Calculus: Early Transcendentals offers clear and precise mathematics at an appropriate level of rigor. The authors help students learn calculus conceptually, while also emphasizing computational and problem-solving skills. The book contains a wide array of problems including engaging challenge problems and applied exercises. Students weak in algebra will benefit from marginal annotations that help strengthen algebraic understanding, the many references to review material, and extensive practice exercises. Calculus has been built with today’s instructors and students in mind.
