| Summary
Calculus hasn’t changed, but students have.
Today’s students have been raised on immediacy and the desire for
relevance, and they come to calculus with varied mathematical
backgrounds. Thomas’ Calculus: Early Transcendentals, Twelfth Edition,
helps students successfully generalize and apply the key ideas of
calculus through clear and precise explanations, clean design,
thoughtfully chosen examples, and superior exercise sets. Thomas offers
the right mix of basic, conceptual, and challenging exercises, along
with meaningful applications. This significant revision features more
examples, more mid-level exercises, more figures, and improved
conceptual flow.
