Product Description:
Once again keeping a keen ear to the needs of the evolving calculus community, Stewart created this text at the suggestion and with the collaboration of professors in the mathematics department at Texas A&M University. With an early introduction to vectors and vector functions, the approach is ideal for engineering students who use vectors early in their curriculum. Stewart begins by introducing vectors in Chapter 1, along with their basic operations, such as addition, scalar multiplication, and dot product. The definition of vector functions and parametric curves is given at the end of Chapter 1 using a two-dimensional trajectory of a projectile as motivation. Limits, derivatives, and integrals of vector functions are interwoven throughout the subsequent chapters. As with the other texts in his Calculus series, in Early Vectors Stewart makes us of heuristic examples to reveal calculus to students. His examples stand out because they are not just models for problem solving or a means of demonstrating techniques - they also encourage students to develop an analytic view of the subject. This heuristic or discovery approach in the examples give students an intuitive feeling for analysis.

This is without a doubt the worst textbook I have ever owned. Okay, so it's calculus. It's a hard subject, and people do need to understand that; I know I do. However, this book goes to the unnecessary limits to ensure that anyone who is trying to learn calculus without the aide of a Mathematics Professor will surely fair, and waste countless hours trying to learn the notation that is used in the book, but never used in lecture or in the application courses (such as Engineering and Physics).

As far as the actual value of this book as apposed to choosing another, I have no frame of reference to make a judgement. It appears to cover most topics of Calculus..
