Vibrant four-color design illuminates key concepts and improves students' comprehension of graphs and figures.

Translating Words into Functions section illustrates how to translate a verbal description into a symbolic representation of a function and demonstrates these translations with actual calculus problems.

Chapter Review Exercises include problems that focus on the algebra, graphing and function theory, the sub-text of so many calculus problems.  Review questions include conceptual fill-in-the-blank and true-false questions, as well as numerous thought-proving exercises.

The Calculus Preview found at the end of each chapter offers students a glimpse of a single calculus concept along with the algebraic, logarithmic and trigonometric manipulations that are necessary for the successful completion of typical problems related to that concept. 

The Student Resource Manual by Warren S. Wright includes: A review of algebra, a review of complex numbers and a review of the use of technology in calculus, including graphing calculator usage, and worked out solutions to selected exercises.  Additional exercises, which may be used as homework assignments or in-class discussion, are also included.

An Instructor's Complete Solutions Manual includes worked out solutions for all exercises in the text.
