Calculus
by Ron Larson and Robert Hostetler and Bruce H. EdwardsDesigned for the three-semester engineering calculus course, Calculus: Early Transcendental Functions, 4/e, continues to offer instructors and students innovative teaching and learning resources. Two primary objectives guided the authors in the revision of this book: to develop precise, readable materials for students that clearly define and demonstrate concepts and rules of calculus; and to design comprehensive teaching resources for instructors that employ proven pedagogical techniques and save time. The Larson/Hostetler/Edwards Calculus program offers a solution to address the needs of any calculus course and any level of calculus student. Every edition from the first to the fourth of Calculus: Early Transcendental Functions, 4/e has made the mastery of traditional calculus skills a priority, while embracing the best features of new technology and, when appropriate, calculus reform ideas. Now, the Fourth Edition is part of the first calculus program to offer algorithmic homework and testing created in Maple so that answers can be evaluated with complete mathematical accuracy.
Precalculus with Limits
by Ron Larson and Robert Hostetler and Bruce H. Edwards and David C. FalvoWritten by the author, this manual offers step-by-step solutions for all odd-numbered text exercises as well as Chapter and Cumulative tests. In addition to Chapter and Cumulative tests, the manual also provides practice tests and practice test answers.
Government in America
by George C. Edwards and Martin P. Wattenberg and William G. HowellAs Politics and government matter to everyone, Government in America explains how policy choices make a difference and shape the kind of country in which we live and how these choices affect the taxes we pay, the wars we fight, the quality of our environment, and many other critical aspects of our lives. This edition of Government in America explains the reasons we have such a difficult time resolving differences over public policy and the stakes we all have in finding solutions to the challenges facing our nation. The text provides extensive coverage of four core subject areas: constitutional foundations, patterns of political behavior, political institutions, and public policy outputs.

Discrete Mathematics with Applications
by Susanna S. EppNIMAC-sourced textbook
Susanna Epp's DISCRETE MATHEMATICS, THIRD EDITION provides a clear introduction to discrete mathematics. Renowned for her lucid, accessible prose, Epp explains complex, abstract concepts with clarity and precision. This book presents not only the major themes of discrete mathematics, but also the reasoning that underlies mathematical thought. Students develop the ability to think abstractly as they study the ideas of logic and proof. While learning about such concepts as logic circuits and computer addition, algorithm analysis, recursive thinking, computability, automata, cryptography, and combinatorics, students discover that the ideas of discrete mathematics underlie and are essential to the science and technology of the computer age. Overall, Epp's emphasis on reasoning provides students with a strong foundation for computer science and upper-level mathematics courses.

Liberty, Equality, Power
by John M. Murrin and Paul E. Johnson and James M. Mcpherson and Alice Fahs and Gary Gerstle and Emily S. Rosenberg and Norman L. RosenbergIntegrating social and cultural history, this college textbook tells the political story of a country that, over a relatively brief period, transformed itself into the most powerful nation on earth, and explores the role of power in shaping American politics, society, and economics. The fifth edition adds a final chapter on Presidents Clinton and Bush. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Elementary Statistics
by Ron Larson and Betsy FarberElementary Statistics: Picturing the World, Sixth Edition, provides stepped out instruction, real-life examples and exercises, and the use of technology to offer the most accessible approach. The authors carefully develop theory through strong pedagogy, and examples show how statistics is used to picture and describe the world. In keeping with the premise that students learn best by doing, it includes more than 210 examples and more than 2300 exercises, to make the concepts of statistics a part of students' everyday lives.
College Physics
by Raymond A. Serway and Chris Vuille and Jerry S. FaughnIntended for biology and social science students, this two-semester textbook explains Newtonian mechanics, the physics of fluid, heat and thermodynamics, wave motion and sound, the concepts of electricity and magnetism, the properties of light, relativity, and quantum physics. The eighth edition eliminates superfluous worked examples and adds sections on thermal processes and magnetic materials. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
College Physics (8th Edition)
by Raymond A. Serway and Jerry S. Faughn and Chris VuilleSerway (emeritus, James Madison U. ) and Vuille (Embry-Riddle Aeronautical U.) update yet again their textbook for a one-year introduction to physics for majors in biology, the health professions, environmental and social sciences, and technical fields such architecture. It uses algebra, geometry, and trigonometry but not calculus. The goal is for students to acquire a clear and logical understanding of the basic concepts and principles of physics, and some idea about how those can be applied to, and demonstrated from, aspects of daily life. This edition is fully integrated with Enhanced WebAssign. It covers mechanics, thermodynamics, vibrations and waves, electricity and magnetism, light and optics, and modern physics.

Holt Physics
by Raymond A. Serway and Jerry S. FaughnThis book touches on a lot of material, including basic collisions, fluids, rotational motion, relativity, and even some quantum mechanics.

Calculus
by Ross L. FinneyThis text, as the edition before it, was especially designed and written for teachers and students of Advanced Placement Calculus. Combining the scholarship of Ross Finney and Frank Demana, the technological expertise of Bert Waits, and the intimate knowledge of and experience with the Advanced Placement Program of Dan Kennedy, this text is truly unique among calculus texts. It may be used, in perfect order and without supplementation, from the first day of the course until the day of the AP* exam. Teachers who are new to teaching calculus, as well as those who are very experienced, will be amazed at the insightful and unique treatment of many topics.
Precalculus With Trigonometry
by Paul A. FoersterIf you shoot an arrow into the air, its height above the ground depends on the number of seconds since you released it. In this chapter you will learn ways to express quantitatively the relationship between to variables such as height and time. You will deepen what you have learned in previous courses about functions and the particular relationships that they describe for example, how height depends on time.
