TOC & Preface PDF
In addition to including the solutions to all of the new exercises in this edition of Thomas, we have carefully revised or
rewritten every solution which appeared in previous solutions manuals to ensure that each solution
ì conforms exactly to the methods, procedures and steps presented in the text
ì is mathematically correct
ì includes all of the steps necessary so a typical calculus student can follow the logical argument and algebra
ì includes a graph or figure whenever called for by the exercise, or if needed to help with the explanation
ì is formatted in an appropriate style to aid in its understanding
Every CAS exercise is solved in both the MAPLE and MATHEMATICA computer algebra systems. A template showing
an example of the CAS commands needed to execute the solution is provided for each exercise type. Similar exercises within
the text grouping require a change only in the input function or other numerical input parameters associated with the problem
(such as the interval endpoints or the number of iterations).
