Product Description
This is the most comprehensive revision of Thomas' Calculus in 25 years. The new edition of Thomas is a return to what Thomas has always been: the book with the best exercises. For the 11th edition, the authors have added exercises cut in the 10th edition, as well as exercises and examples from the classic 5th and 6th editions. The book's theme is that Calculus is about thinking; one cannot memorize it all. The exercises develop this theme as a pivot point between the lecture in class, and the understanding that comes with applying the ideas of Calculus. In addition, the table of contents has been refined, introducing transcendentals in the first seven chapters. Many of the examples have been trimmed of distractions and rewritten with a clear focus on the main ideas. The authors have also excised extraneous information in general and have made the technology much more transparent. The ambition of Thomas 11e is to teach the ideas of Calculus so that students will be able to apply them in new and novel ways, first in the exercises but ultimately in their careers. Every effort has been made to insure that all content in the new edition reinforces thinking and encourages deep understanding of the material.

 Thomas Calculus review September 20, 2008
The book arrived within a good time frame and was in good and acceptable condition. Good service.
 Misadvertisement - Wrong version shipped September 20, 2008
The title here saids "Thomas' Calculus Early Transcendentals (11th Edition) (Thomas Series)" which is what I wanted but when I received, it is the 10th Edition NOT the 11th Edition.

Amazon does a great job at sending new items. The book was in perfect condition and original wrapper. The edges were of course intact for the way they boxed it.
Mailed as quickly as promised (1-2 business days for amazon prime).
Best Calculus Book I've Seen December 4, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
My school uses Stewart's Calculus-- a very boring book with few challenging problems which is also poorly worded etc. I finally asked a professor which book is the best calculus book on the market. She gave me this one and, as I said in the title, this is a great book! As someone else posted, you aren't going to learn the calculus by scanning some pages; what you get out of your studies is proportional to how much effort you put into studying. This book offers a maximal constant of proportionality!
So, if you like the calculus and your current book doesn't discuss theory or is too elementary, buy this book. Or if your current book is poorly worded, buy this book. If you don't want to do work, then buy this book and tell yourself to stop being lazy!
Horrible book not enough examples October 30, 2005
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
If you buy the book alone without the solutions manuals and you are taking calculus 1 2 or 3 you will have the hardest time in your life.Its ridicoulus how the examples in the book are general and when the problems arrive in the section they are mostly special cases where you have do to something absolutly different. For a student this book is a nightmare, maybe for somebody that has taken the class before or knowledgeble this book might be useful to practice hard problems. In my opinion, books like these should not be published for the purposes of teaching their content in universities.
