Calculus (8^th Ed.)
Multivariable

The ideal resource for promoting active learning in flipped classroom environments, Calculus: Multivariable, 8th Edition brings calculus to real life with relevant examples and a variety of problems with applications from the physical sciences, economics, health, biology, engineering, and economics. Emphasizing the Rule of Four?viewing problems graphically, numerically, symbolically, and verbally?this popular textbook provides students with numerous opportunities to master key mathematical concepts and apply critical thinking skills to reveal solutions to mathematical problems.

Developed by Calculus Consortium based at Harvard University, Calculus: Multivariable uses a student-friendly approach that highlights the practical value of mathematics while reinforcing both the conceptual understanding and computational skills required to reduce complicated problems to simple procedures. The new eighth edition further reinforces the Rule of Four, offers additional problem sets and updated examples, and supports complex, multi-part questions through new visualizations and graphing questions powered by GeoGebra.
