The authors have also excised extraneous information in general and have made the technology much more transparent. Many of the examples have been trimmed of distractions and rewritten with a clear focus on the main ideas. In addition, the table of contents has been refined, introducing transcendentals in the first seven chapters. The exercises develop this theme as a pivot point between the lecture in class, and the understanding that comes with applying the ideas of Calculus. The book's theme is that Calculus is about thinking one cannot memorize it all. For the 11th edition, the authors have added exercises cut in the 10th edition, as well as exercises and examples from the classic 5th and 6th editions. The new edition of Thomas is a return to what Thomas has always been: the book with the best exercises. This is the most comprehensive revision of Thomas' Calculus in 25 years. Every effort has been made to insure that all content in the new edition reinforces thinking and encourages deep understanding of the material. The ambition of Thomas 11e is to teach the ideas of Calculus so that students will be able to apply them in new and novel ways, first in the exercises but ultimately in their careers.
In addition, the table of contents has been refined to match the standard syllabus. For the 11th edition, the authors have added exercises cut in the 10th edition, as well as, going back to the classic 5th and 6th editions for additional exercises and examples.
