Among the strengths of this text are the clear writing styles of the author, the use of color and diagrams throughout the book, the excellent organization of the book, the superb set of ancillaries both for the student and the instructor, and the excellent homework exercises., "Stewart does a good job in extracting the best parts from calculus reform efforts and traditional approaches. The book is well organized, the material is clearly presented, and there is an abundance of problems of varying levels. The problems are the right type to engage students in thinking about the concepts and to develop skills and ability to apply the calculus?The organization and presentation is designed to develop perspective, conceptual understanding and ability to use the concepts and methods to actually solve problems." "I like the author's approach very much'it combines the best features of both [the traditional and the reform approaches], making it possible to present a better course. Stewart's approach contains the most important aspects of that [reform] approach'rule of four, use of projects, use of technology, focus on topics of value to clients, development of conceptual understanding over formalism, writing." "The text is well-informed about the use of calculus and makes good use of realistic settings, not just artificially manufactured information.", I have appreciated two main things from this textbook. The first is the concise language that Stewart uses. It makes my job much easier. I can embellish, add, emphasize or not easily. The second item is the paring down of the calculus material to an amount that'allows me enough room to add the various exploratory activities that I have my classes use., I want a text that stresses the numerical and graphical as well as the algebraic approach to calculus. But I also want a calculus text that still has a solid rigorous foundation, and the Stewart book provides both.

    Calculus Book

    I liked the price a lot on this book: about one half of used cost at the local bookstore. I didn't like that the cover was coming unbound, and so now there is duct tape on it. However, I digress, what was really important was the quality of the pages between the covers, which were impeccable. Not even any highlights in it. All over, the book was awesome, especially for the price, but I do wish I would've known about the binding. The book's contents aren't quite as helpful as other calculus textbooks I've owned, but better than others. My one complaint is that the author occasionally misses equations that are fairly critical, and need to be used in homework problems. I personally don't recommend this book, even for reference, but it was assigned as required material for my class, so I ...

    Calculus by Stewart

    The Calculus by Stewart Textbook was required for my Calculus classes for college. The book has a great introduction and recap of precalculus material. It also presents the material for the course in an easy-to-read manner. Proper explanations of the mathematics is provided.

    easy learning

    this book does a great job teaching calculus - of course it is a tough class, but the book explains it well and has plenty of examples that show you step by step how to do everything.
