The updated tenth edition of this clear, precise calculus text with superior applications sets the standard in calculus. This proven text was carefully revised to give students the solid base they need to succeed in math, science and engineering programs. Through a comprehensive technology package, this edition now includes more opportunity to incorporate optional, but meaningful, technology into the course.

Full, but optional, integration of technology, with connections between the text and the CD-ROM and Web site. The CD-ROM ships free with every copy of the book, and access to the Web site is free.

The Annotated Instructor's Edition includes suggestions for the incorporation of technology into the course.

Revised Preliminaries chapter.

Streamlined coverage of the techniques of integration.

Thorough revision of vector chapters provides a good base for multivariable material.

More real data/numerical exercises.

Free CD-ROM and Web site include:
- Just-in-Time Online Algebra and Trigonometry
- Skill mastery/self-test area for students
- On-line quizzing
- Transparency masters
- Maple® and Mathematica® applications modules for labs
- Downloadable technology resources for specific Computer Algebra Systems and calculators
- Expanded historical notes
- Syllabus manager

NEW! The updated tenth edition features three full sections devoted to conic sections in an appendix in the back of the book.

NEW! The updated tenth edition now ships FREE with MathXL, Addison-Wesley's web-based diagnostic testing and tutorial system. Free access is granted for 24 months.

(Practice Exercises, Additional Exercises, and Questions to Guide Your Review appear at the end of each chapter.)
