Many of the above reviews are contradictory... Here's the scoop as I see it... THIS BOOK: MULTIVARIABLE CALC is for the last several chapters (13-18)... Much of Calc III covers atleast 13 and 14... If you are in Calc I or II, use the SINGLE VARIABLE Solutions manual (Chapters 1-12)... Just straightening things out... Hope this helps!

This manual gives the solutions, with work, to the odd-numbered exercises in James Stewart's Multivariable Calculus (fourth edition). This coincides with chapters 11-18 of his Calculus (fourth edition) and chapters 10-17 of his Calculus: Early Transcendentals. It is both concise and sufficient, and can be a very useful tool for understanding the concepts taught by the exercises in each section. It is equally useful for helping on a problem when one gets stuck. (Of course, these benefits will be curtailed if you have a teacher who compulsively assigns even-numbered exercises simply to annoy the students.) Also keep in mind that the manual covers only the multivariate portion of the Stewart texts, typically covered during the third semester of college calculus. With these caveats in mind, I consider this manual to be a valuable tool for any calculus student using the multivariate portions of Stewart's textbooks.

This solutions guide does not include the last third of the chapters in the text book. If you are taking Cal III, this book will NOT help you out. However, if you are taking Cal I or Cal II and useing Stewart's Calculus, this is a great companion to it.

Unbelievable solution manual. Shows how to work out problems, so you don't want to burn your book after working for three hours on change of variable triple integrals, etc. A definite must for the last few chapters of the Stewart book.

This solutions manual is for Calculus One and Two. Calculus Three uses the Multivariable solutions manual. Forget using Maple software--I can never get it to work. besides, your TI calculators resemble Mathematica software more than Maple.

This book does cover the last third of the text book. Two of the other reviews are incorrectly referring to the Vol 1 (ISBN 0-534-21799-0)manual which does cover the first portion of the book. They are incorrect.

Volume two of the student solutions manual for Stewart's Calculus contains the solutions to the odd numbered questions in the last third of the book.

This book really helps you understand the material covered in the book. It has the answers shown in a "how to" way. My suggestion: First actually attempt the problem in the text book. After trying to solve it, THEN look at the answer. Only that way will you actually learn from mistakes (or help prove you know how to do the problem!).

I bought this text thinking it would also have the homework problems with answers. The text contains only answers, and they didn't seem any different from the answers in the Appendix of Stewart's textbook. I had taken Calc 1 and 2 a few years previously, and had to have the current homework problems. The chapters and sections didnt exactly coincide with Stewart's text, which was confusing.

was very usefull in understanding the text more comprehensively not to mention it helped me when i got stumped on some of the problems my professor assigned overall well worth the money i paid for it
