INNOVATIVE AT THE INTERMEDIATE LEVEL
1 of 1 found this helpful This review is done from the perspective of one who is either learning or teaching Calculus II and Calculus III. In this volume, Larson and Edwards have laid out elaborate examples in terms of how applications of the integral are carried out. Accompanied with WebAssign, the text information provides three-dimensional modeling such as the highly-enhanced computer graphics that enable one to see how space is occupied not just in the Cartesian (x-y) plane but also the surfaces that require x-y-z coordinates as well as those that entail cylindrical and spherical objects. For instance, in providing examples of the shell method or the method of disks, the instructor can give students an animated visual of the physical attributes described. Those engaged can see the apparatus from virtually all angles, including top view, bottom view, side view, etc. For one from the "old school", this is quite an advancement from the attempted chalkboard drawings of yesteryear; though often reliable, this learning tool could only be displayed on a two-dimensional surface, thus leaving too much to the imagination in regard to the remaining dimension which could not, at the time, be adequately illustrated.
Along with the advantages of the computer software, the exercises contained are numerous and well segued from one mastery level to the next. Having already taught Calculus from other references, I can argue that the changes from topic to topic or problem to problem are better transitioned in the 9th edition of Larson and Edwards than they are in other books. One particular standout is an outlined, shortcut method that might be used for various Integration by Parts exercises and thus drastically cut down on the number of steps that might otherwise be used, especially where repeated Integration by Parts is called for.
After reading the complaints from those in Calculus I, I recommend Silvanus Thompson's classic, Calculus Made Easy, as a cost-effective supplement for learning introductory level derivatives and integrals. So far as the intermediate, undergraduate level Calculus II and III are concerned, Larson and Edwards' work is ideal, for it seems to utilize innovative techniques in a style reminiscent of Thompson.
