Calculus: Early Transcendentals Single Variable

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.

[Grace Bryan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Well I finished my Calc 2 session so I decided it was time to mark this as read as well! Of course I didn’t peruse cover to cover, this reading session took me from anti derivatives to Taylor series. Overall, I think this was well formatted! I appreciated that odd numbered exercises had answers in the back, I think a book with that resource would have saved me from falling into the laziness of chegg in my undergrad degree.
