Calculus: Late Transcendentals Multivariable
Description:
New author, Colin Adams
Colin Adams is an award-winning teacher, widely read author, and distinguished researcher. A user of Jon Rogawski''s textbook, he brings his own classroom experience to the project, as well as a well-regarded ability to make calculus more engaging and meaningful to students without sacrificing its precision and rigor.
Refined Exercises
The exercise sets were reviewed extensively by longtime users to ensure the utmost accuracy, clarity, and complete content coverage. Exercise sets were also modified to improve upon the grading by level of difficulty and to ensure even/odd pairing.
In addition, numerous new exercises have been added throughout the text, particularly where new applications are available or to enhance conceptual development.
New Examples, including

Refined Exercises
The exercise sets were reviewed extensively by longtime users to ensure the utmost accuracy, clarity, and complete content coverage. Exercise sets were also modified to improve upon the grading by level of difficulty and to ensure even/odd pairing.
In addition, numerous new exercises have been added throughout the text, particularly where new applications are available or to enhance conceptual development.
New Examples, including
- Example 7 in Section 4.3 where the local minimum occurs at critical point but derivative does not exist
- Example 5 in Section 6.1 that computes the areas between two curves in two ways
- Several new examples in Chapter 11 including Example 1 (Fibonacci sequence) and Example 4 (bounded sequence) in Section 11.1 and Example 5 (repeated decimal expansion) in Section 11.2
- Several examples in Chapter 15 including Example 7 (a limit that does not exist because different paths product different limits) in Section 15.2, Example 9 (gradient vectors perpendicular to level curves) in Section 15.5 and Example 5 (Second Derivative Tests fails) in Section 15.7
New Content Based on User and Reviewer Feedback
- Determining Which Convergence Test To Apply (new in Ch. 11, sec. 5) reviews each test and provides strategies on when to apply them.
- More Focus on ConceptsCoverage of these concepts now focuses more on concepts and methods, rather than formulas and memorization:
- Quadric surfaces (Ch. 13)
New Illustrations
This edition includes a number of new figures that help students visualize concepts, including illustrations that explain: - What a limit means (Fig. 5 in Section 2.1, Fig. 3 in Section 2.2)
- The Intermediate Value Theorem (Fig. 2 in Section 2.8)
- Vertically and horizontally simple regions (Figs. 2 and 9 in Section 6.1)
Standardized Notation
Notational changes bring this edition in line with standard notation usage in mathematics and other fields that use mathematics, presenting a consistent message to students. Other notational changes make it easier for students to comprehend the concepts.
For example, in multivariable chapters, notation for vector-valued functions is now written r(t) = instead of c(t) = (x(t), y(t)) and the standard notation V is used for potential functions.
LearningCurve
In a game-like format, LearningCurve adaptive and formative quizzing provides an effective way to get students involved in the coursework. It offers:- A unique learning path for each student, with quizzes shaped by each individual''s correct and incorrect answers.
- A Personalized Study Plan, to guide students'' preparation for class and for exams.
- Feedback for each question with live links to relevant e-book pages, guiding students to the reading they need to do to improve their areas of weakness.
