Thomas’ Calculus, Fourteenth Edition, provides a modern introduction to calculus that fo-
cuses on developing conceptual understanding of the underlying mathematical ideas. This
text supports a calculus sequence typically taken by students in STEM fields over several
semesters. Intuitive and precise explanations, thoughtfully chosen examples, superior fig-
ures, and time-tested exercise sets are the foundation of this text. We continue to improve
this text in keeping with shifts in both the preparation and the goals of today’s students,
and in the applications of calculus to a changing world
