Calculus: Late Transcendentals Multivariable by Jon Rogawski; Colin Adams; Robert Franzosa - Fourth Edition, 2019 from Macmillan Student Store

This alternative version of Rogawski and Adams’ Calculus includes chapters 11-18 of the Fourth Edition, and is ideal for instructors who just want coverage of topics in multivariable 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 Premium that boasts a robust collection of interactive learning aids.

Achieve for Calculus redefines homework by offering guidance for every student and support for every instructor. Homework is designed to teach by correcting students' misconceptions through targeted feedback, meaningful hints, and full solutions, helping teach students conceptual understanding and critical thinking in real-world contexts.

Features

SUPPORTED IN ACHIEVE

Achieve is the culmination of years of development work put toward creating the most powerful online learning tool for calculusstudents. It houses all of our renowned assessments, multimedia assets, e-books, and instructor resources in a powerful new platform.

Achieve supports educators and students throughout the full range of instruction, including assets suitable for pre-class preparation, in-class active learning, and post-class study and assessment. The pairing of a powerful new platform with outstanding calculus content provides an unrivalled learning experience.

Highlights include:

  • A design guided by learning science research. Co-designed through extensive collaboration and testing by both students and faculty including two levels of Institutional Review Board approval for every study of Achieve
  • A learning path of powerful content including pre-class, in-class, and post-class activities and assessments.
    A detailed gradebook with insights for just-in-time teaching and reporting on student achievement by learning objective.
  • Easy integration and gradebook sync with iClicker classroom engagement solutions.
  • Simple integration with your campus LMS and availability through Inclusive Access programs.

 

Features of this Edition Include:

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

Graphical Insights enhance students’ visual understanding by making the crucial connections between graphical properties and the underlying concepts.  

Reminders are margin notes that link the current discussion to important concepts introduced earlier in the text to give students a quick review and make connections with related ideas.  

Caution notes warn students of common pitfalls they may encounter in understanding the material. Examples work through problems to instruct students on concepts.  They contain full, stepped-out solutions for each part.   

Historical Perspectives are brief vignettes that place key discoveries and conceptual advances in their historical context.  They give students a glimpse into some of the 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 and emphasize for students what is most important in each section.  

Section Exercise Sets offer a comprehensive set of exercises closely coordinated with the text.  These exercises vary in difficulty from routine, to moderate, to more challenging.  

Chapter Review Exercises offer a comprehensive set of exercises closely coordinated with the chapter material to provide additional problems for self-study or assignments.

ACHIEVE FOR CALCULUS

Achieve focuses on engaging students through pre-class and post-class assessment, interactive activities, and a full e-book. Achieve is a complete learning environment with easy course setup, gradebook and LMS integration.

  • The easy-to-use Homework Math Palette adapts its front page to the content of the problem, bringing forward the most appropriate buttons. This helps students focus on the math rather than the format.
  • Homework Warnings: Our propriety grading algorithm conbines our homegrown parser and the computer algebra system, SymPy. It is programed to accept every valid equivalent answer and to trigger warnings for answers entered in an incorrect format.
  • Targeted Feedback ensures the focus is on learning.
  • Detailed Solutions: Setailed step-by-step solutions ensure students learn from a problem when they answer correctly or give up.
  • Guided Learn and Practice assignments include interactive content, videos, and instructional feedback to prepare students before they come to class.
  • Guided Learn and Practice Assignments contain CalcClips tutorial videos are integrated throughout the e-book.
  • Dynamic Figures powered by Desmos, take students' experience further with conceptual and computational questions about the interactive Dynamic Figures. These book-specific figures are embedded directly in the e-book and additional assessment for the figures are found in the Guided Learn and Practice question banks.
  • LearningCurve adaptive quizzing offers individualized question sets and feedback for each student based on his or her correct and incorrect responses.

General themes of the revision include the following (a detailed list of changes is also available):

  • Rewrite portions to increase readability without reducing level of mathematical rigor. This includes increasing clarity, improving organization, and building consistency.
  • Add applications, particularly in life science and earth science to broaden the scientific fields represented in the book. In particular, there are a number of new examples and exercises in climate science, an area that is currently drawing a lot of interest in the scientific community.
  • Add conceptual and graphical insights to assist student understanding in places where pitfalls and confusion often occurs.
  • Add diversity to the Historical Perspectives and historical marginal pieces.
  • Maintain threads throughout the book by previewing topics that come up later and revisiting topics that have been presented before.
  • Expand the perspective on curve sketching--beyond just sketching a curve using calculus tools--to include analyzing given curves using calculus tools. (This is an addition of some elements of the “reform” perspective on calculus instruction.)
  • “Tighten” the presentation of the mathematics in the text, improving rigor (without increasing the overall level of formality). This includes correcting previous errors and omissions.

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.
