Journey Through Calculus: Boxed Version / Edition 1

by Bill Ralph

Overview

From the moment you enter the virtual gateway, you'll know that Journey Through Calculus is like no other Calculus CD that you've ever seen. This truly interactive CD has been designed to help students successfully navigate challenging calculus terrain. With stunning visual animation, unlimited problem-solving capabilities, and a powerful computer algebra system, Journey Through Calculus allows students to fully explore and appreciate the dynamic world of calculus. Journey's engaging activities emerge students in the study of calculus - often before they even realize it! Journey Through Calculus presents comprehensive coverage of all the topics of the single variable calculus course. Journey can also be used by professors in the classroom to bring lecture topics to life - keeping students focused and interested - and encouraging them to actively participate in topics being discussed. The Stewart Calculus texts have icons throughout referring to Journey Through Calculus. This CD, however, can be used with any single variable calculus text or by itself.
