Quick Navigation

Overview

Present an intuitive, discovery based, problem-solving approach for learning calculus to your students with Stewart/Kokoska’s CALCULUS: CONCEPTS AND CONTEXTS, 5th Edition and WebAssign digital resources. Updated and refined using the latest learning design principles, this edition removes barriers to learning to offer a carefully planned, inclusive experience for all students. The authors balance theory and conceptual work for more progressive programs yet retain traditional topics to meet the needs of more conventional calculus curriculums. Revised content focuses on major concepts and the Rule of Four with precise definitions and new margin notes, thorough step-by-step explanations and detailed examples with expanded solutions. This edition offers even more exercises and new learning features that closely examine key concepts. New automatically-graded online Proof Problems, Expanded Problems and Explore It interactive learning modules in WebAssign further strengthen conceptual understanding.

James Stewart

The late James Stewart received his M.S. from Stanford University and his Ph.D. from the University of Toronto. He conducted research at the University of London and was influenced by the famous mathematician, George Polya, at Stanford University. Dr. Stewart most recently served as a professor of mathematics at McMaster University and the University of Toronto. His research focused on harmonic analysis. Dr. Stewart authored the best-selling calculus textbook series, including CALCULUS, CALCULUS: EARLY TRANSCENDENTALS and CALCULUS: CONCEPTS AND CONTEXTS, as well as a series of successful precalculus texts and college algebra and trigonometry texts.

Steve Kokoska

Steve Kokoska received his undergraduate degree from Boston College and his M.S. and Ph.D. from the University of New Hampshire. He taught for 36 years and is now professor emeritus in the department of mathematical and digital sciences at Bloomsburg University. Dr. Kokoska has served as Chief Reader for the AP® calculus reading and as a member of the AP® Calculus Development Committee. He has been involved with calculus reform and the use of technology in the classroom for numerous years. He has written several technology supplements, an introductory statistics text and an AP® calculus text with Dr. Stewart. He has also given numerous presentations for the College Board and Texas Instruments, has presented workshops in China and Singapore, participated in several AP® calculus-focused webinar and has written and produced several calculus resources for Texas Instruments.

What's New

{{collapseContainerClosed['whats-new'] ? 'Show More' : 'Show Less'}}
  • NEW "A CLOSER LOOK" LEARNING FEATURE CLARIFIES KEY CONCEPTS: These helpful "A Closer Look" sections provide straightforward, itemized explanations of important concepts. This effective guidance enables students to connect with relevant theory.
  • MORE DETAILED SOLUTIONS AND EXPLANATIONS ENHANCE THE EXAMPLES: This edition's examples now include more detailed solutions with explanations that further clarify most steps. This makes it easier for students to follow the logical steps to a solution and apply problem-solving techniques to this edition's exercises.
  • "COMMON ERROR" MARGIN NOTES HELP STUDENTS AVOID SOME OF THE MOST FREQUENTLY MADE MISTAKES: These invaluable marginal notes remind students of the common errors while reinforcing the proper solution method.
  • NEW AUTOMATICALLY-GRADED PROOF PROBLEMS IN WEBASSIGN BUILD STUDENT CONFIDENCE: Carefully crafted online proof problems within WebAssign help build student confidence. Your students develop an understanding of the entire process of writing proofs with important practice and instant feedback.
  • NEW EXPANDED PROBLEMS IN WEBASSIGN INCLUDE MULTIPLE PARTS TO ENSURE UNDERSTANDING: These online Expanded Problems go beyond the basic exercises to ask students to show the specific steps of their work or to explain the reasoning behind the answers they've provided.
  • NEW SUBSECTIONS DIVIDE LEARNING INTO SMALLER, MORE MANAGEABLE PIECES: Wherever possible, this edition's sections are divided into appropriate subsections -- smaller portions of concepts and practice -- to accommodate the way students learn today.

Features

{{collapseContainerClosed['features'] ? 'Show More' : 'Show Less'}}
  • CONTENT AND EXERCISES EMPHASIZE A CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING: Engaging examples and exercises strengthen students' conceptual understanding and encourage a meaningful interpretation of results.
  • PROBLEM-SOLVING EMPHASIS PREPARES STUDENTS FOR LONG-TERM SUCCESS: Problem-solving is introduced at the beginning and reinforced throughout. Students learn how to identify key words, expressions, and phrases, important concepts needed, and how to develop a vision for a solution.
  • WEALTH OF EXERCISES REINFORCE STUDENTS' SKILLS AND CHALLENGE THEIR THINKING: A range of exercises reinforce the Rule of Four, enabling students to practice analytical skills and stress concepts through pattern recognition. Many of the problems are designed to challenge students and encourage creative thinking.
