About the Book

NOTE: This edition features the same content as the traditional text in a convenient, three-hole-punched, loose-leaf version. Books a la Carte also offer a great value; this format costs significantly less than a new textbook.

For Books a la Carte editions that include MyLab(TM) or Mastering(TM), several versions may exist for each title-including customized versions for individual schools-and registrations are not transferable. In addition, you may need a Course ID, provided by your instructor, to register for and use MyLab or Mastering platforms.

For one-semester courses in Calculus.
