The narrative is interspersed with Quick Check questions that encourage students to read
with pencil in hand. These questions resemble the kinds of questions instructors pose in
class. Answers to the Quick Check questions are found at the end of the section in which
they occur. Margin Notes offer reminders, provide insight, and clarify technical points.
Guided Projects
The Instructor’s Resource Guide and Test Bank contains 78 Guided Projects. These projects
allow students to work in a directed, step-by-step fashion, with various objectives: to
carry out extended calculations, to derive physical models, to explore related theoretical
topics, or to investigate new applications of calculus. The Guided Projects vividly demonstrate
the breadth of calculus and provide a wealth of mathematical excursions that go
beyond the typical classroom experience. A list of suggested Guided Projects is included
at the end of each chapter.
Technology
We believe that a calculus text should help students strengthen their analytical skills and
demonstrate how technology can extend (not replace) those skills. The exercises and examples
in this text emphasize this balance. Calculators and graphing utilities are additional
