Calculus: Early Transcendentals

by William L. Briggs

This much anticipated second edition of the most successful new calculus text published in the last two decades retains the best of the first edition while introducing important advances and refinements. Authors Briggs, Cochran, and Gillett build from a foundation of meticulously crafted exercise sets, then draw students into the narrative through writing that reflects the voice of the instructor, examples that are stepped out and thoughtfully annotated, and figures that are designed to teach rather than simply supplement the narrative. The authors appeal to students' geometric intuition to introduce fundamental concepts, laying a foundation for the development that follows.

Awesomeeeeeeeeeee

I used this book for Calculus 1, 2 & 3. It's decent at points, but really fell down at others, and tended to give really bad examples or none at all. I felt it nearly impossible to understand the last chapter. thank god for online resources, because with this book alone I would have been in trouble.

A great calculus book which explains the subject in a comprehensible way so people can understand it. Used it for cal 1, 2 and 3 and use it for review now.

[Nikolas Albertson]

An OK read. I focused on the multivariable calculus chapters in the book. Concepts were explained well, but could be realized with better theoretical explanations.

Used it for Calc 1 & 2. Transferred to a different uni, the in-house Calc 3 book they had made me miss this book sorely. Not bad at all, I can only remember one or two sections that I couldn't wrap my head around.

[Jim Zubricky]

This was an okay math book. It was very well-written with great explanations in the beginning, but around Chapter 6, the explanations became more muddled and cloudy.... hence my evaluation.

Dreadful
