THOMAS & FINNEY - BEST CALCULUS BOOK

THOMAS & FINNEY FOR ENGINEERING STUDENTS IS THE BEST BOOK OF CALCULUS .

The updated ninth edition of Calculus And Analytic Geometry contains exercises and problem solving strategies to help students of calculus and analytic geometry grasp the concepts of the subject.

Summary Of The Book

As observed in the earlier editions of Calculus And Analytic Geometry, there are practical exercises and questions at the end of each section. Further, it features additional exercises in theory, examples, and applications.

The exercises have been reorganised in this updated ninth edition. New Computer Algebra System (CAS) explorations and projects that require CAS have been included. In addition, technology connection notes appear throughout the text that suggest experiments for the students to conduct with the use of a grapher. This will help readers supplement their understanding of the given topic.

The content of Calculus And Analytic Geometry includes limits and continuity, applications of derivatives, integration and applications of integrals, infinite series, multiple integrals, transcendental functions, vectors and analytic geometry in space, conic sections, parametrized curves and polar coordinates, vector-valued functions and motion in space, multivariable functions and partial derivatives, and integration in vector fields.

Combining recent technological innovations in teaching and learning, Calculus And Analytic Geometry will give students the conceptual clarity required to succeed in maths, science, and engineering courses.

About The Authors

Born in 1914, George B. Thomas, Jr. is an American professor of mathematics.

His other works include Thomas' Calculus, Early Transcendentals, University Calculus, Single Variable With Vectors, and Probability And Statistics.

He worked with publishers Addison-Wesley on Calculus And Analytical Geometry, and the first edition was published in 1952. This book is now in its twelfth edition and is used worldwide. He became involved in mathematics and science education in America’s primary and secondary schools from 1955, even coming to India on a grant from the Ford Foundation to train teachers of mathematics. Thomas graduated in 1936 from Washington State University with a B.A. and M.A. in mathematics and mathematics education respectively. He received his Ph.D. from Cornell University, New York, and was immediately hired by Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Interestingly, he programmed the differential analyser to calculate firing tables for the United States Navy during World War II. Thomas died in Foxdale Village, Pennsylvania, in 2006.
