Synopsis:

The Eighth Edition of this well respected text - part of Swokowski/Cole series of mathematics texts - features updated discussions to enable students to more easily understand the mathematical concepts; new exercises that require students to estimate, approximate, interpret a result, write a summary, create a model, explore, or find a generalization; and more examples and exercises that use graphing calculators. These changes have been incorporated without sacrificing the mathematical soundness that has been paramount to the success of this text and series.

Review: "There is about the right number of exercises, and there is a nice number of applications each time. The 'stories' attached to the application exercises are well developed and meaningful. I also like the use of illustrations to clarify the exercises. It is very helpful." "The exercises are well chosen and connect well with the text. They also go nicely from easier to harder at basically the right pace." "This text is carefully written. It does not oversimplify, but it is still accessible."
