Description

W. H. Freeman and WebAssign

W. H. Freeman and WebAssign have partnered to deliver an outstanding resource for your calculus course.

Combining the mostly widely used online homework platform and a new textbook that presents calculus with a solid mathematical precision but with everyday sensibility that puts the main concepts in clear terms, Ragowski's Calculus Early Transcendentals is rigorous without being inaccessible and clear without being too informal-it has the perfect balance for instructors and their students.

The WebAssign homework and assessment system will provide instructors with 1200 new problems, virtually all of which are randomized. This system is available both with a print or an eBook version of the text.

Here are some textbook questions from Calculus Early Transcendentals 1/e by Jon Rogawski published by W. H. Freeman. Click here for a list of all of the questions coded in WebAssign.
