Editorial Review:
Product Description:
This edition of James Stewart's best-selling calculus book has been revised with the consistent dedication to excellence that has characterized all his books. Stewart's Calculus is successful throughout the world because he explains the material in a way that makes sense to a wide variety of readers. His explanations make ideas come alive, and his problems challenge, to reveal the beauty of calculus. Stewart's examples stand out because they are not just models for problem solving or a means of demonstrating techniques--they also encourage readers to develp an analytic view of the subject. This edition includes new problems, examples, and projects.

Corollary: As the number of pretty pictures in a textbook increases, the beauty of the explanations declines.
Stewart's Theorem has become painfully obvious to many undergrads forced to pay a massive amount of money for a bulky book that causes endless confusion and heartache. I knew more than one person who needlessly changed their major because they found calculus so confusing, thanks to Dr. Stewart. He should have paid closer attention to his mentor, the legendary pedagogue George ... Read More

As a math/chemistry major I am working on a thorough review of calculus theory and concepts this summer in preparation for my fall classes.This text is a very good introduction to calculus and analytic geometry. Provides both the theory behind the math as well as plenty of attention to practical applications in the sciences, business and economics for those who tend to say, "What good is math to me anyway?" There are plenty of worked examples in each chapter. There is also ample review of albebra ... Read More

I bought this book mainly for a reference. Looking through it, it seems to be like most all upper level math books -not very user friendly!
Why do these over-educated math nerds who write these books make them sooo hard to follow!?!? Although I can solve the problems in this book, I cant figure out why it is written on such a level to where the average person would have difficulty in learning calculus!
I do not recommend this book except for reference only!

I am a college Calculus instructor, and I find this book terrible for many reasons. For students looking for a solid but much more inviting introduction to Calculus, I highly recommend Larson's book over Stewart's.
Here is a point-by-point breakdown of the faults I find in Stewart's text:
Clarity of Explanation and Content Level
Stewart's explanations are often verbose, unclear, and written at a
level too high for the average Calculus student. Several ... Read More

When I came out of High School abroad and attended College in the States, I had HUGE difficulties understanding the material for Calculus. The highest level of Math I achieved was pre-calculus. I usually relied on Schaum's Outline to get me out of some holes I fell in, during Calc 1 and 2, but I barely made it out alive. At the end of last year (2007), my counselor recommended that I switched to a Math MAJOR. And reminiscing on the dreaded TAYLOR SERIES, Improper Intergrals, I was skeptical I could understand ...
