Calculus Early Transcendentals Single Variable by Jon Rogawski - Third Edition, 2015 from Macmillan Student Store

 This alternative version of Rogawski and Adams’ Calculus: Early Transcendentals includes chapters 1-11 of the Third Edition, and is ideal for instructors who just want coverage of topics in single variable calculus.

The most successful calculus book of its generation, Jon Rogawski’s Calculus offers an ideal balance of formal precision and dedicated conceptual focus, helping students build strong computational skills while continually reinforcing the relevance of calculus to their future studies and their lives.

Guided by new author Colin Adams, the new edition stays true to the late Jon Rogawski’s refreshing and highly effective approach, while drawing on extensive instructor and student feedback, and Adams’ three decades as a calculus teacher and author of math books for general audiences.

The Third Edition is also a fully integrated text/media package, with its own dedicated version of WebAssign.

Features

Conceptual Insights encourage the student to develop a conceptual understanding of calculus by explaining important ideas clearly but informally.

Graphical Insights enhance the students' visual understanding by making the crucial connection between graphical properties and the underlying concept.

Reminders in the margins link back to important concepts discussed earlier in the text.
Caution notes warn students of common pitfalls they can encounter in understanding the material.

Historical Perspectives are brief vignettes that place key conceptual discoveries and advancements in their historical settings.  They give students a glimpse into past accomplishments of great mathematicians and an appreciation for their significance.

Assumptions Matter uses short explanations and well-chosen counterexamples to help students appreciate why hypotheses are needed in theorems.

Section Summaries summarize a section’s key points in a concise and useful way to emphasize for students what is most important in the section.

Section Exercise Sets offer a comprehensive set of exercises closely coordinated with the text. These exercises vary in levels of difficulty from routine, to moderate, to more challenging.  Also included are questions appropriate for written response or use of technology:
• Preliminary Exercises begin each exercise set and need little or no computation.  They can be used to check understanding of key concepts of a section before problems from the exercise set are assigned. 
• Exercises offers numerous problems from the routine drill problems to moderately challenging problems. These are carefully graded and include many innovative and interesting geometric and real world applications.
• Further Insights and Challenges are more challenging problems that help to extend a section’s material.  
• End of Chapter Review Exercises offer a comprehensive set of exercises closely coordinated with the chapter material to provide additional problems for self study or assignments.

New to This Edition

 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

  • 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 10 including Example 1 (Fibonacci sequence) and Example 4 (bounded sequence) in Section 10.1 and Example 5 (repeated decimal expansion) in Section 10.2


    New Content Based on User and Reviewer Feedback

  • Strategies of Integration (new section in Ch. 7), incorporates many new examples to guide students on how to tackle integration problems
  • Determining Which Convergence Test To Apply (new in Ch. 10, sec. 5) reviews each test and provides strategies on when to apply them

    Coverage of these concepts now focuses more on concepts and methods, rather than formulas and memorization:
  • Derivatives of inverse trigonometric functions (Ch. 3)
  • Trigonometric integrals (Ch. 7)


    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) = <x(t), y(t)> instead of c(t) = (x(t), y(t)) and the standard notation V is used for potential functions.

    • "The clarity of examples, as well as their interconnectedness, remains a strong point.  This fact alone goes a long way toward helping students better learn the concepts." 
    --Erik Tou, instructor, Carthage College


     “It strikes the right balance between readability for the student and rigor for the instructor.”
    --Debra Carney, instructor, Colorado School of Mines

     "It is refreshing to see that even in the chapter on limits, there are application problems from a variety of disciplines, including engineering, physics and biology.  The applications feel realistic and relevant as opposed to constructed and stilted." 
    --Maria Siopsis, instructor, Maryville College

     "The strenghts are in the Conceptual and Graphical Insights.  These are the kinds of comments that can make things 'click' and fall into place for the students." 
    --Berit Givens, instructor, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona

    "The notation is a strong point of this book.  It is used consistently and the authors do not shy away from using math instead of excess prose.  Those two features alone put these chapters well ahead of my present text." 
    --Jonathan Pearsall, instructor, College of Southern Nevada

    "It's an invitation to learn calculus the right way."
    --Nadjib Bouzar, instructor, University of Indianapolis

    Jon Rogawski

    Jon Rogawski received his undergraduate and master’s degrees in mathematics simultaneously from Yale University, and he earned his PhD in mathematics from Princeton University, where he studied under Robert Langlands. Before joining the Department of Mathematics at UCLA in 1986, where he was a full professor, he held teaching and visiting positions at the Institute for Advanced Study, the University of Bonn, and the University of Paris at Jussieu and Orsay. Jon’s areas of interest were number theory, automorphic forms, and harmonic analysis on semisimple groups. He published numerous research articles in leading mathematics journals, including the research monograph Automorphic Representations of Unitary Groups in Three Variables (Princeton University Press). He was the recipient of a Sloan Fellowship and an editor of the Pacific Journal of Mathematics and the Transactions of the AMS. As a successful teacher for more than 30 years, Jon Rogawski listened and learned much from his own students. These valuable lessons made an impact on his thinking, his writing, and his shaping of a calculus text. Sadly, Jon Rogawski passed away in September 2011. Jon’s commitment to presenting the beauty of calculus and the important role it plays in students’ understanding of the wider world is the legacy that lives on in each new edition of Calculus.
