Calculus: Early Transcendentals - Rilegato

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 received his undergraduate degree (and simultaneously a master's degree in mathematics) at Yale, and a Ph.D. in mathematics from Princeton University, where he studied under Robert Langlands. Prior to joining the Department of Mathematics at UCLA, where he is currently Full Professor, he held teaching positions at Yale and the University of Chicago, and research positions at the Institute for Advanced Study and University of Bonn. Jon's areas of interest are number theory, automorphic forms, and harmonic analysis on semisimple groups. He has published numerous research articles in leading mathematical journals, including a research monograph entitled Automorphic Representations of Unitary Groups in Three Variables (Princeton University Press). He is the recipient of a Sloan Fellowship and an editor of The Pacific Journal of Mathematics. Jon and his wife Julie, a physician in family practice, have four children. They run a busy household and, whenever possible, enjoy family vacations in the mountains of California. Jon is a passionate classical music lover and plays the violin and classical guitar.

Colin Adams is the Thomas T. Read Professor of Mathematics at Williams College, where he has taught since 1985. He has produced a number of books that make mathematics more accessible and relatable, including How to Ace Calculus and its sequel, How to Ace the Rest of Calculus; Riot at the Calc Exam and other Mathematically Bent Stories; and Zombies & Calculus. Colin co-wrote and appears in the videos "The Great Pi vs. E Debate" and "Derivative vs. Integral: the Final Smackdown."
