Designed for today's calculus instructors and students The much-anticipated 3rd Edition of Calculus: Early Transcendentals retains its hallmark features while introducing important advances and refinements.

Examples are stepped out and thoughtfully annotated, and figures are designed to teach rather than simply supplement the narrative.
