Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Stewart's CALCULUS, Fifth Edition has the mathematical precision, accuracy, clarity of exposition and outstanding examples and problem sets that have characterized the first four editions. Stewart retains the focus on problem solving and the pedagogical system that has made the book a favorite of students and instructors in a wide variety of colleges and universities throughout the world. In this Fifth Edition, he has made hundreds of small improvements: new examples, additional steps in existing examples, updating of data in existing examples and exercises, new phrases and margin notes to clarify the exposition, references to other sources and web sites, redrawn art, and references to the TEC CD (Tools for Enriching Calculus). These refinements ensure that students and instructors have the best materials available. The number of pages in the book, however, remains unchanged from the 4th edition. Further support for students and instructors is now available through a vast array of supplementary material.

About the Author
James Stewart received his M.S. from Stanford University and his Ph.D. from the University of Toronto. He did research at the University of London and was influenced by the famous mathematician George Polya at Stanford. Stewart is currently a Professor of Mathematics at McMaster University. His research field is harmonic analysis. James Stewart is the author of a best-selling calculus textbook series published by Brooks/Cole, including CALCULUS, Fifth Edition and CALCULUS: EARLY TRANSCENDENTALS, Fifth Edition, as well as a series of precalculus texts.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nothing explained, January 15, 2002
This review is from: Multivariable Calculus (Hardcover)
This book does a pretty terrible job of explaining anything. It seems to gloss over the theory very quickly, maybe assuming we already know it (in which case we would have no need for the book)!

It has a few examples, which are decent in that they illustrate the ideas but they are not enough in number nor in variety. While doing the problems in the book whenever I get stuck I often find that the book is of no help in helping me understand, either because the examples are too specific or more often than not because there is no explanation at all.

This book has a lot of great problems that I guess promote understanding (as someone else has mentioned), but it does nothing to help you solve them, and that's the major flaw of the book which is why I simply cannot give it more than 2 stars.

3.0 out of 5 stars Its a typical math book, September 30, 2007
Its nth special... a book which covers what you need for calc III but the explanations arent the easiest to understand... Their are lots of questions though which makes it a good book for practice... They should make some of their explanations more clearer and I would have given it 4 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Book, December 22, 2001
By T. Zhang (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Multivariable Calculus (Hardcover)
This book encourages readers to think and understand the basic concepts of Calculus rather than to work mechanically through different problems and memorize the solutions.
The derivations offered in this book are easy to follow and helps readers to learn the concepts in depth. Unfortunately, this book is not intended for advanced Calculus course and, as a result, it lacks complete derivations/proofs to some theories presented in advanced-Calculus textbooks.
On the whole, this is an excellent textbook for a Calculus course!

I have been using this text book for a while. So far it's good to the concepts and examples. But I think it's better to have a whole one including 3 volumes inteads of buying them... Read more
