Calculus

by William L. Briggs, Lyle Cochran

Drawing on their decades of teaching experience, William Briggs and Lyle Cochran have created a calculus text that carries the teacher’s voice beyond the classroom. That voice–evident in the narrative, the figures, and the questions interspersed in the narrative–is a master teacher leading readers to deeper levels of understanding. The authors appeal to readers’ geometric intuition to introduce fundamental concepts and lay the foundation for the more rigorous development that follows. Comprehensive exercise sets have received praise for their creativity, quality, and scope.

Baffled at the low reviews.

This is the one of the best compilation Calculus texts out there that money can buy.

Encompasses Single/Multivariable/Differential/Integral/Vector Calculus all in one.

Has excellent worked examples, proofs, visualizations, etc!

I used it in college years ago, and I still open it here and there, today, for reference.

In my opinion, it is a better text than Larson/Hostetler/Edwards's Calculus text.

This book, while used concurrently with mymathlab, has helped me achieved a great understanding of calculus! I just finished calculus 3 with a 98%. While the material is challenging, this book offers concise examples, a wide arrange of online help (like an e-book, interactmath.com help, etc), and visuals! It's awesome!

Served its purpose as a standalone reference for Calc I/II.
