Summary

The Single Variable portion of Calculus: Early Transcendental Functions, 5/e, offers students innovative learning resources. Every edition from the first to the fifth of Calculus: Early Transcendental Functions, 5/e has made the mastery of traditional calculus skills a priority, while embracing the best features of new technology and, when appropriate, calculus reform ideas.

Larson writes a very clear, straight forward calculus book for students. The book has very good examples to help a student or teacher explain a topic. There are plenty of practice problems, with answers for the odd questions in the back. It provides examples and problems that also meet the AP Calculus AB and BC curriculum.
