Product Description:
James Stewart's well-received CALCULUS: CONCEPTS AND CONTEXTS, Second Edition follows in the path of the other best-selling books by this remarkable author. The First Edition of this book was highly successful because it reconciled two schools of thought: it skillfully merged the best of traditional calculus with the best of the reform movement. This new edition continues to offer the balanced approach along with Stewart's hallmark features: meticulous accuracy, patient explanations, and carefully graded problems. The content has been refined and the examples and exercises have been updated. In addition, CALCULUS: CONCEPTS AND CONTEXTS, Second Edition now includes a free CD-ROM for students that contains animations, activities, and homework hints. The book integrates the use of the CD throughout by using icons that show students when to use the CD to deepen their understanding of a difficult concept. In CALCULUS: CONCEPTS AND CONTEXTS, this well respected author emphasizes conceptual understanding - motivating students with real world applications and stressing the Rule of Four in numerical, visual, algebraic, and verbal interpretations. All concepts are presented in the classic Stewart style: with simplicity, character, and attention to detail. In addition to his clear exposition, Stewart also creates well thought-out problems and exercises. The definitions are precise and the problems create an ideal balance between conceptual understanding and algebraic skills.

I can't believe what I got! The price and quality of this order was amazing. I would buy from this seller again in a heartbeat!

This book is flat out horrible for calc II (chapters 4.5-8). The author skips steps in examples, assumes the reader knows too much, and expects the student to solve problems beyond the chapters instruction. With the wrong instructor (and I've had a few), this book does nothing to educate the student. Shame on universities that continue to drive this one down our throats!

This book has, hands down, the worst explanations of any textbook I have ever read. During my second semester of calculus I just gave up reading the text and started relying solely on lecture. Also, half this book is fluff; such as the pointlessly short chapter on differential equations and all the chapters on applications(natural sciences, statistics etc.) Those things should be left to other books that can go into more detail. No course even has the time to cover all those topics. Important chapters, ... Read More

I am a student in college currently using this book for second semester calculus after using it for first semester. This book has an amazing way of making a simple problem horribly complicated! The explainations are confusing and the author assumes that you have already mastered previous material and often leaves out neccesary explainations and steps in problems. Also, other calculus books that I have worked with have much better organization of topics. This book throws out sections in chapters that do ... Read More

I'm a student and am using this book now... the explanations are solid and the exercises are helpful in securing an understanding of the concepts presented. One of the better math textbooks I've used in high school.
