There are a total of 14,000 exercises and 1400 examples in the eleventh edition. The results of this analysis helped improve the quality and quantity of exercises that matter the most to instructors and students. In creating new exercises, the authors analyzed aggregated student usage and performance data from MyMathLab for the previous edition of this text. €¢ Exercises – There are over 1000 new and updated exercises in the new edition.

If you’d like to see the complete listing of entries for the online graphing calculator manual, use the URL goo.gl/eAUgW3.
And Benjamin Rushing has added graphing calculator help for students, accessible online via short URLs in the margins. €¢ Graphing calculator – We have replaced the older TI-84 screens with those from the new TI-84 Plus-C (the color version).
€¢ Refreshed design – The book has been redesigned in full color to help students better use it and to help motivate students as they put in the hard work to learn the mathematics (because let’s face it—a more modern looking book has more appeal). The new features of the eleventh edition include: New co-author Rich Evans is a veteran faculty member at Corning Community College (NY) and has brought a wealth of positive contributions to the book and accompanying MyMathLab course. Another author! Yes, after 50 years as a “solo act,†Allyn Washington has a partner. You may have noticed something new on the cover of this book. The text material is developed recognizing that it is essential for the student to have a sound background in algebra and trigonometry in order to understand and succeed in any subsequent work in mathematics. The aim is to help the student develop an understanding of mathematical methods without simply providing a collection of formulas. The approach used in this text is not unduly rigorous mathematically, although all appropriate terms and concepts are introduced as needed and given an intuitive or algebraic foundation.
However, the material in this book can be rearranged to fit any appropriate sequence of topics. These allied courses normally require a student to know certain mathematics topics by certain definite times yet the traditional order of topics in mathematics courses makes it difficult to attain this coverage without loss of continuity. One of the principal reasons for the arrangement of topics in this text is to present material in an order that allows a student to take courses concurrently in allied technical areas, such as physics and electricity. The material presented here is sufficient for two to three semesters. However, the material is presented in adequate detail for those who may need more study in these areas. Most students using this text will have a background that includes some algebra and geometry. However, it is not necessary that the student have a specific knowledge of the technical area from which any given problem is taken. In the examples and exercises, numerous applications from the various fields of technology are included, primarily to indicate where and how mathematical techniques are used.
Chapters 23 through 31 cover fundamental concepts of calculus including limits, derivatives, integrals, series representation of functions, and differential equations. Chapter 21 covers the basic topics of analytic geometry, and Chapter 22 gives an introduction to statistics. Chapters 1 through 20 provide the necessary background for further study with an integrated treatment of algebra and trigonometry. Basic Technical Mathematics with Calculus, Eleventh Edition, is intended primarily for students in technical and pre-engineering technical programs or other programs for which coverage of mathematics is required.
