Thomas' Calculus, Multivariable plus MyLab Math with Pearson eText -- 24-Month Access Card Package

NOTE: Before purchasing, check with your instructor to ensure you select the correct ISBN. Several versions of Pearson's MyLab™ products exist for each title, and registrations are not transferable. To register for and use Pearson's MyLab products, you may also need a Course ID, which your instructor will provide.

If purchasing or renting from companies other than Pearson, the access codes for Pearson's MyLab products may not be included, may be incorrect, or may be previously redeemed. Check with the seller before completing your purchase.

Clarity and precision

Thomas' Calculus, Multivariable  helps students reach the level of mathematical proficiency and maturity you require, but with support for students who need it through its balance of clear and intuitive explanations, current applications, and generalized concepts. In the 14th Edition, new co-author Christopher Heil (Georgia Institute of Technology) partners with author Joel Hass to preserve what is best about Thomas' time-tested text while reconsidering every word and every piece of art with today's students in mind. The result is a text that goes beyond memorizing formulas and routine procedures to help students generalize key concepts and develop deeper understanding.

Personalize learning with MyLab Math.

MyLab™ Math is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to work with this text to engage students and improve results. Within its structured environment, students practice what they learn, test their understanding, and pursue a personalized study plan that helps them absorb course material and understand difficult concepts. A full suite of Interactive Figures have been added to the accompanying MyLab Math course to further support teaching and learning. Enhanced Sample Assignments include just-in-time prerequisite review, help keep skills fresh with distributed practice of key concepts, and provide opportunities to work exercises without learning aids to help students develop confidence in their ability to solve problems independently.

NOTE: This package includes a MyLab Math access kit created specifically for Hass/Heil/Weir, Thomas' Calculus, Multivariable 14/e. This title-specific access kit provides access to the Hass/Heil/Weir, Thomas' Calculus, Multivariable 14/e   accompanying MyLab course ONLY.
