Description:

Ideal for the single-variable, one-, or two-semester calculus course, "Calculus of a Single Variable, 8/e, contains the first 9 chapters of "Calculus, 8/e. The text continues to offer instructors and students new and innovative teaching and learning resources. The Calculus series was the first to use computer-generated graphics (Third Edition), to include exercises involving the use of computers and graphing calculators (Fourth Edition), to be available in an interactive CD-ROM format (Fifth Edition), to be offered as a complete, online calculus course (Sixth Edition), and to offer a two-semester "Calculus I with Precalculus text. Every edition of the book has made the mastery of…
