James Stewart’s Calculus, Early Transcendentals, 8th Edition.

Topics Covered

The three central objects of the semester are limits, derivatives, and integrals. In studying these objects, we will see the connections between them, how to compute different types of them, and how to apply such calculations to some practical problems.
