This text is designed for the single-variable component of a three-semester or four-quarter calculus course (math, engineering, and science majors). Thomas’ Calculus: Early Transcendentals, Single Variable, Thirteenth Edition, introduces readers to the intrinsic beauty of calculus and the power of its applications. For more than half a century, this text has been revered for its clear and precise explanations, thoughtfully chosen examples, superior figures, and time-tested exercise sets. With this new edition, the exercises were refined, updated, and expanded—always with the goal of developing technical competence while furthering readers’ appreciation of the subject. Co-authors Hass and Weir have made it their passion to improve the text in keeping with the shifts in both the preparation and ambitions of today's learners.   KEY TOPICS: Functions, Limits and Continuity, Differentiation, Applications of Derivatives, Integration, Applications of Definite Integrals, Integrals and Transcendental Functions, Techniques of Integration, First-Order Differential Equations, Infinite Sequences and Series, Parametric Equations and Polar Coordinates   MARKET: For all readers interested in calculus.
