3.0 out of 5 starsWhy Such Varied Reviews?
By A Customer on February 26, 2004
Format: Hardcover
There is a reason why the reviews of Stewart's Calculus textbook vary so widely. It's because Stewart is challenging. Some instructors favor Stewart because they are steeped enough in the Math to appreciate Stewart's applications and explanations of Calculus's uses in so many fields of study. But students who struggle with Math may have a difficult time with Stewart's rigor, and his algebraic/conceptual jumps. Let's review some specific qualities of this book:
o Text: The text is pretty clearly written, with no errors I know of, but makes some conceptual leaps periodically.
o Layout: The layout is excellent. It makes great use of consistent color coding and typographical conventions to identify classes of concepts. (I.e., It's always easy to spot and distinguish Examples, Proofs, Rules, and New Sections.)
However, there are some algebraic manipulations that are sometimes combined into one line that should probably be expanded out and explained better. Even though students are expected to understand the algebra at this point, it's often crucial to explain _why_ certain algebraic manipulations are being done. Usually there is a certain form of an expression or equation that is useful or desirable for a specific reason. Such reasons need to be explicated side-by-side with the steps to reach the desired form, instead of just skipping to the desired form (as sometimes is done).
o Terminology: In some places Stewart talks about "constants" when what he really means are "scalars." There is a distinction between these two concepts that is important in other fields of math that could be confused. He also uses different letters to identify "any real number" or "a particular real number" than is standard in many other texts. This also could lead to confusion.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsThe best there is - and I'm familiar with the others
By Stan Vernooy on May 12, 2000
Format: Hardcover
I was one of the pre-publication reviewers for the second edition of this book. I have not been shy about telling a publisher that their book stinks if that's my opinion. But the Stewart book was then, and remains now, IMHO, the best introductory calculus text available. Please note that the majority of negative reviews came from people who have seen exactly one calculus book, and they clearly don't like calculus! But I have taught from three of the most popular books, and I've read most of the others. There may be other books which take a radically entertaining, non-traditional, and more superficial approach to the subject, and those books may meet with approval from people who really don't want to learn calculus. But of those (many) books which cover the traditional topics in an introductory calculus course, no other author has written a text as learnable as Stewart's. On every topic, Stewart is clearly conscious of the fact that his reader doesn't already know the subject, and he has given some thought to exactly what has to be explained in order for the student to learn successfully. Remember, most textbooks are not written for students: they are written for the professors who are going to choose the books. Professors are not generally impressed with a book which spends a half page clearly describing the meaning of a theorem which can be written with a one-line equation. But students will appreciate the effort Stewart has exerted to help them learn. Stewart does not sugar-coat or resort to gimmicks or superficiality in order to make the material learnable. All the material is there, it's just presented with an awareness that the reader is trying to learn calculus for the first time. If you are taking a calculus course with any other book, try to get a cheap used copy of the Stewart to use as a supplement. It will help!

5.0 out of 5 starsWARNING: MANY REVIEWERS ARE CONFUSING EDITIONS!
By Let's Compare Options Preptorial TOP 500 REVIEWER on May 9, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This is one of the best calculus textbooks ever written, with the most intuitive examples and illustration of any text out there. It is #2 in all the courses we survey, and in the top 3 of Library purchases for books with 1,200 pages or more. That said:

1. Make SURE you get the 7th edition, it is heavily revised.

2. Many of the reviews trash talking this book (it IS a five star text!) are due to purchasers not knowing what "hybrid" means. THE PAPERBACK VERSION OF THIS BOOK IS DIFFERENT! A "hybrid" is a class that combines online with brick and mortar class attendance, and some publishers are now creating "hybrid" texts with some material integrated with the online LMS (learning management system of the school or teacher) and the text. NEVER BUY a HYBRID TEXT if you are not taking a class!

3. Some folks saw the price of this book, then bought the "paperback" at far less, from a third party on Amazon. THIS IS A BIG MISTAKE! If you get a hybrid book, and the third party is honest and says you don't get access codes, you'll be missing half the book in this case! Worse, if the book says "hybrid" you MUST get a second access code from the teacher who is giving the class-- DO NOT BUY a hybrid for self study!!

Sadly, the circus around this text is limiting the great value of the HARD COVER, COMPLETE text for self study. It is one of the best there is in gentle examples of derivative applications, even in multivariate and ODE forms. It's target is those who didn't do particularly well in HS calc, or never had any including limits, or are rusty, so please evaluate it on its own merits, not the mistaken hybrid reviews.

BTW Amazon is NOT ripping anyone off with this-- you just need to understand that hybrid MEANS incomplete!Read more ›
