Este libro de texto está concebido para cursos de cálculo general, especialmente para estudiantes de Ciencias e Ingeniería. El objetivo de este manual es presentar el cálculo de forma clara, coherente y legible, de manera que sus lectores lo encuentren interesante. La mejor forma de profundizar en la comprension del calculo es resolver ejercicios, que ayudaran tanto a desarrollar las destrezas necesarias para el calculo como a mejorar la comprension de los conceptos de calculo. Los problemas y ejercicios estan graduados por nivel de dificultad. Contiene un capitulo completo dedicado a las ecuaciones diferenciales. Se presentan problemas que requieren el uso de un ordenador utilizando un software de matematicas (como Maple o Mathematica), o bien una de hoja de calculo (por ejemplo, Lotus 123, Excel de Microsoft o Quattro Pro).

A collection of inspiring essays by the photographer Robert Adams, who advocates the meaningfulness of art in a disillusioned society In Art Can Help, the internationally acclaimed American photographer Robert Adams (b. 1937) offers over two-dozen meditations on the purpose of art and the responsibility of the artist. In particular, Adams advocates art that evokes beauty without irony or sentimentality, art that "encourages us to gratitude and engagement, and is of both personal and civic consequence." Following an introduction, the book begins with two short essays on the works of the American painter Edward Hopper, an artist venerated by Adams. The rest of this compilation contains essays-more than half of which have never before been published-that contemplate one work or a small group of works by an individual artist. Many of the objects discussed are by noted photographers such as Julia Margaret Cameron, Emmet Gowin, Dorothea Lange, Abelardo Morell, Edward Ranney, Judith Joy Ross, John Szarkowski, and Garry Winogrand. Several essays beckon the words of literary figures, including Virginia Woolf and Czeslaw Milosz. Adams's voice is at once intimate and accessible, and is imbued with the accumulated wisdom of a long career devoted to making and viewing art. This eloquent and moving book champions art that fights against disillusionment and despair.

Robert Adams ha sido considerado como uno de los más singulares y originales cronistas del oeste norteamericano. A través de cuatro décadas de carrera, comenzando a mediados de la década de los 60 en respuesta al rápido cambio topográfico de Denver, donde se trasladó en su adolescencia.Adams ha desarrollado un trabajo fotográfico conocido por su austeridad y por una particular visión llena de matices. Esta exposición traza la larga relación a través de imágenes entre Robert Adams y la vida estadounidense, una relación basada en la belleza de la humanidad y su comunicación con el mundo natural.

Proven in North America and abroad, this classic text has earned a reputation for excellent accuracy and mathematical rigour. The 10th edition continues in the pattern of the 8th and 9th editions, adding important, but overlooked, topics while clarifying old ones, and building on the solid core emplaced in prior editions. It remains the only mainstream textbook that covers sufficient conditions for maxima and minima in higher dimensions. In the classical curriculum, differentials are defined as linear combinations of other differentials. But then later they are also asserted to be products of differentials, without explanation. This edition clarifies, connecting these new objects as they arise. Metrics are a rather fuzzy topic in most texts, leaving the questions that arc length implies hanging. The exploration of these questions leads to new gateway topics, including spherical geometry (as in navigation), and special relativity, which both emerge rather effortlessly once the metric concept is properly in place.The 10th edition is suitable for a semester course in differential equations, in addition to the existing standard material suitable for four semesters of calculus. Not only can it be used to deliver five standard courses of conventional material, it can do much more through some of the unique topics and approaches, which can be added or overlooked by the instructor without penalty. There is no other calculus book that deals better with computers and mathematics through Maple and now Python, while treating unique but important applications from information theory to Levy distributions. This 10th edition continues to aspire to its subtitle: A Complete Course. It is like no other.

'Una nueva Realidad' es la continuación del clásico de la espiritualidad 'El silencio del Corazón'. El libro recoge una colección de sátsangs (charlas espirituales) sobre la no-dualidad que Robert Adams compartio durante años con un pequeño grupo de seguidores. El libro contiene muchas recomendaciones practicas para 'reencontrarnos' con nuestro Ser interior y acceder al estado de bienaventuranza, a una nueva Realidad, en nuestro dia a dia. Robert Adams (1928-1997) es uno de los discipulos occidentales mas conocidos de Sri Ramana Maharshi. Como su maestro, Robert Adams hizo hincapie en la importancia de transcender el yo individual mediante el proceso de autoindagacion, para asi comprender finalmente nuestra verdadera naturaleza. "De la misma manera que el inmenso cielo azul permanece siempre ahi arriba independientemente de lo que ocurra en la tierra, la Realidad brillante y resplandeciente permanece siempre y te llena de un amor, una alegria, un gozo y plenitud indescriptibles"
