Calculus, Third Edition
Coming this June is Calculus, Third Edition, by Hughes-Hallett, Gleason, et al. This new edition has the same philosophy and hallmark features as previous editions--the Rule of Four, an emphasis on modeling, a flexible approach to technology, and an exposition students can read--but a different balance of topics. Always working in collaboration, consortium members and colleagues in mathematics and client disciplines from all over the world have helped shape the new edition. The information gathered from users and non-users of the text reflects the growing consensus for a curriculum that balances new and traditional topics--and the new third Edition brings together the best of both. To see the results, you can preview full-color chapters from the new edition now by registering at www.wiley.com/college/bcs/ 041408263/instructors.html. The single variable book will be printed in June with the combined and multivariable versions available in late summer for use in fall classes.

Explorations in College Algebra, Second Edition
We are very proud to announce the new edition of Kime and Clark's Explorations in College Algebra. Like the first edition, the text leads students on an exploration of how algebra is used to solve problems, then uses problem-solving to motivate both routine algebraic skill-building and open-ended inquiries that prepare students for future courses. Exercises are greatly expanded in the new edition, and a wealth of materials have been added to the text Web site, including: a Graphing Calculator Manual, Graph Link Files (for TI-82 or TI-83) or Excel spreadsheet files with all the data sets used in the course, interactive software for Mac or PC, and a variety of readings. Please visit www.wiley.com/college/kimeclark for more information.
