In this text, we seek to balance students’ prior experience in calculus with the algebraic skill development they may still need, without slowing their progress through calculus itself. Despite this familiarity, their acquired algebra and trigonometry skills sometimes limit their ability to master calculus at the college level. Many of today’s students have been exposed to the terminology and computational methods of calculus in high school. We continue to improve this text in keeping with shifts in both the preparation and the ambitions of today’s students, and the applications of calculus to a changing world. Precise explanations, thoughtfully chosen examples, superior figures, and timetested exercise sets are the foundation of this text. This material supports a three-semester or four-quarter calculus sequence typically taken by students in mathematics, engineering, and the natural sciences. Thomas’ Calculus: Early Transcendentals, Thirteenth Edition, provides a modern introduction to calculus that focuses on conceptual understanding in developing the essential elements of a traditional course.
