Complete and precise multivariable coverage enhances the connections of multivariable ideas with their single-variable analogues studied earlier in the book.Īssess student understanding of key concepts and skills through a wide range of time-tested exercises.A flexible table of contents divides topics into manageable sections, allowing instructors to tailor their course to meet the specific needs of their students.If the instructor decides to downplay formality at any stage, it will not cause problems with later developments in the text. Students and instructors who proceed through the formal material will find it as carefully presented and explained as the informal development. Results are both carefully stated and proved throughout the book, and proofs are clearly explained and motivated.Ideas are introduced with examples and intuitive explanations that are then generalized so that students are not overwhelmed by abstraction. The distinction between the two is clearly stated as each is developed, including an explanation as to why a formal definition is needed. The authors are careful to present key topics, such as the definition of the derivative, both informally and formally.

New co-author Chris Heil (Georgia Institute of Technology) and co-author Joel Hass continue Thomas’ tradition of developing students’ mathematical maturity and proficiency, going beyond memorizing formulas and routine procedures, and showing students how to generalize key concepts once they are introduced.
