About this product

Product Information

Stewart's MULTIVARIABLE CALCULUS: CONCEPTS AND CONTEXTS, Third Edition offers a streamlined approach to teaching calculus, focusing on major concepts and supporting those with precise definitions, patient explanations, and carefully graded problems. MULTIVARIABLE CALCULUS: CONCEPTS AND CONTEXTS is highly regarded because it has successfully brought peace to departments that were split between reform and traditional approaches to teaching calculus. Not only does the text help reconcile the two schools of thought by skillfully merging the best of traditional calculus with the best of the reform movement, it does so with innovation and meticulous accuracy.

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 have appreciated two main things from this textbook.

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."

Book was listed as 'very good' condition, but when it arrived the cover had stains, creases and folds, and a small tear on one edge. It was packaged ok and the packaging was not damaged, so this was not something that happened during shipping. I messaged them and they replied quickly and instructed me to initiate a return through eBay. I was refunded the full price in less than an hour. Great customer service!

  • Decent book

    I bought this book for calculus 3. I like the fact that the book is skinny compared to my other calculus book, but this is only half of what's learned in calculus (this book starts on chapter 8). Like all math books, it is hard to read it and not fall asleep. I do like the fact that the problems matches the examples so it's not hard to go back and review while doing homework. That is the only plus that I noticed over my other calculus book. The homework problems aren't that bad. I suggest getting a solutions manual with it as it will help somewhat to understand how to do the homework. Just be aware that the solutions manual will only have the odds and if you do find one with the even problems in it also, be prepared to pay big bucks for it.

  • i have no clue. haven't used it yet

    ordered wrong book so i don't know how it is. I did use the single variable version and it is very good. Author lays the info out usually a lot better than your teacher will.

  • Multivariable Calculus by James Stewart

    I ordered Multivariable Calculus by James Stewart. This isn't the best text book for Calculus. I recommend ordering the solutions manual also. It really helps to do the problems at the end of the chapter, but they are hard to do without the solutions manual.

  • Great book

    This is a great introduction to multivariable calculus with many helpful examples in each chapter. It offers an in-depth look into many different subjects within multivariable calculus while devoting more than adequate time to each.
