This review is from: Study Guide for Stewart's Single Variable Calculus: Early Transcendentals, 6th (Paperback)

This book really helps out when you have to learn on your own. It gives a detailed work out of each problem. Helps by showing the steps and process of working the problems. Definitely worth having.

2.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY, poor study material, January 13, 2009

By	Benjamin Chapman (Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Study Guide for Stewart's Single Variable Calculus: Early Transcendentals, 6th (Paperback)

This book is not a SOLUTIONS GUIDE but a STUDY GUIDE. If give you a few isolated example problems and then has a synopsis of each section. At the end of each section there is a quiz which does not resemble homework problems, or any test problems I have had. I would not recommend this. On the other hand the SOLUTIONS GUIDE is an excellent resource.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent study guide if you need step by step instruction, December 30, 2008

This book help me through the semester without carrying the heavy text book everyday.
This book is an excellent guide especially for a slow learner like myself. It explains the complicated calculus concepts in easy words. Since my professor did not used the text book much, except for a few homework assignments, I use this study guide book and my lecture note only to prepare for my exams.
