Description
This ninth edition of Calculus maintains those aspects of previous
editions that have led to the series’ success—we continue to strive for student
comprehension without sacrificing mathematical accuracy, and the exercise sets
are carefully constructed to avoid unhappy surprises that can derail a calculus
class. However, this edition also has many new features that we hope will
attract new users and also motivate past users to take a fresh look at our work.
We had two main goals for this edition:
• To make those adjustments to the order and content that would
align the text more precisely with the most widely followed calculus outlines.
• To add new elements to the text that would provide a wider range
of teaching and learning tools.
All of the changes were carefully reviewed by an advisory committee
of outstanding teachers comprised of both users and nonusers of the previous
edition. The charge of this committee was to ensure that all changes did not
alter those aspects of the text that attracted users of the eighth edition and at
the same time provide freshness to the new edition that would attract new
users. Some of the more substantive changes are described below.
Calculus provides a way of viewing and analyzing the physical
world. As with all mathematics courses, calculus involves
equations and formulas. However, if you successfully learn to
use all the formulas and solve all of the problems in the text
but do not master the underlying ideas, you will have missed
the most important part of calculus. If you master these ideas,
you will have a widely applicable tool that goes far beyond
textbook exercises.

About the Author

| Howard Anton |
Howard Anton wrote the original version of
this text and was the author of the first six editions. He obtained his B.A.
from Lehigh University, his M.A. from the University of Illinois, and his Ph.D.
from the Polytechnic University of Brooklyn, all in mathematics. In the early
1960s he worked for Burroughs Corporation and Avco Corporation at Cape
Canaveral, Florida, where he was involved with the manned space program. In
1968 he joined the Mathematics Department at Drexel University, where he taught
full time until 1983. Since that time he has been an adjunct professor at Drexel
and has devoted the majority of his time to textbook writing and activities for
mathematical associations. Dr. Anton was president of the EPADEL Section of the
Mathematical Association of America (MAA), served on the Board of Governors of
that organization, and guided the creation of the Student Chapters of the MAA.
He has published numerous research papers in functional analysis, approximation
theory, and topology, as well as pedagogical papers. He is best known for his
textbooks in mathematics, which are among the most widely used in the world.
There are currently more than one hundred versions of his books, including
translations into Spanish, Arabic, Portuguese, Italian, Indonesian, French,
Japanese, Chinese, Hebrew, and German. For relaxation, Dr. Anton enjoys
traveling and photography.
