Exercises More than 1,000 new classic calculus problems were added, covering topics from polynomials to multivariable

e calculus, including optimization, related rates, integration techniques and applications, parametric and polar equations, vectors, vector calculus, and differential equations. A reorganization of the exercise sets makes the range of available exercises more transparent. Earlier exercises focus on fundamentals, as developed in examples in the text. Later exercises explore interesting extensions of the material presented in the text. Multi-step exercises help students make connections among concepts and require students to become more critical readers. Closely related exercises are different parts of the same numbered exercise, with follow-up questions to solidify lessons learned. Application exercises have been separated out in all appropriate sections. A new header identifies the location of applied exercises which are designed to show students the connection between what they learn in class, other areas of study, and outside life. This differentiates the applications from exploratory exercises that allow students to discover connections and extensions for themselves. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A project of this magnitude requires the collaboration of an incredible number of talented and dedicated individuals. Our editorial staff worked tirelessly to provide us with countless surveys, focus group reports, and reviews, giving us the best possible read on the current state of calculus instruction. First and foremost, we want to express our appreciation to our sponsoring editor John Osgood and our developmental editor Eve Lipton for their encouragement and support to keep us on track throughout this project. They challenged us to make this a better book.We also wish to thank our editorial director Stewart Mattson, and director of development Kris Tibbets for their ongoing strong support. We are indebted to the McGraw-Hill production team, especially project manager Peggy Selle and design coordinator Laurie Janssen, for (among other things) producing a beautifully designed text. The team atMRCChas provided us with numerous suggestions for clarifying and improving the exercise sets and ensuring the texts accuracy. Our marketing manager Kevin Ernzen has been instrumental in helping to convey the story of this book to a wider audience, and media project manager Sandy Schnee created an innovative suite of media supplements. Our work on this project benefited tremendously from the insightful comments we received from many reviewers, survey respondents and symposium attendees. We wish to
