This ISBN is for the Pearson eText and may not include any media,
website access codes, or print supplement. Proven in North America and
abroad, this classic text has earned a reputation for excellent
accuracy and mathematical rigour. The 10th edition continues in the
pattern of the 8th and 9th editions, adding important, but overlooked,
topics while clarifying old ones, and building on the solid core
emplaced in prior editions. It remains the only mainstream textbook
that covers sufficient conditions for maxima and minima in higher
dimensions. In the classical curriculum, differentials are defined as
linear combinations of other differentials. But then later they are
also asserted to be products of differentials, without explanation.
This edition clarifies, connecting these new objects as they arise.
Metrics are a rather fuzzy topic in most texts, leaving the questions
that arc length implies hanging. The exploration of these questions
leads to new gateway topics, including spherical geometry (as in
navigation), and special relativity, which both emerge rather
effortlessly once the metric concept is properly in place. The 10th
edition is suitable for a semester course in differential equations,
in addition to the existing standard material suitable for four
semesters of calculus. Not only can it be used to deliver five
standard courses of conventional material, it can do much more through
some of the unique topics and approaches, which can be added or
overlooked by the instructor without penalty. There is no other
calculus book that deals better with computers and mathematics through
Maple and now Python, while treating unique but important applications
from information theory to Lévy distributions. This 10th edition
continues to aspire to its subtitle: “A Complete Course.” It is
like no other.
