About This Edition

James Stewart's Calculus: Early Transcendentals texts are widely renowned for their mathematical precision and accuracy, clarity of exposition, and outstanding examples and problem sets. Millions of students worldwide have explored calculus through Stewart's trademark style, while instructors have turned to his approach time and time again. In the Seventh Edition of Calculus: Early Transcendentals, Stewart continues to set the standard for the course while adding carefully revised content. The patient explanations, superb exercises, focus on problem solving, and carefully graded problem sets that have made Stewart's texts bestsellers continue to provide a strong foundation for the Seventh Edition. From the most unprepared student to the most mathematically gifted, Stewart's writing and presentation serve to enhance understanding and build confidence.

New Features

Revised: For this edition, Stewart has combined the material that previously appeared in chapters 1 and 2. This means that Calculus 7e and Calculus: Early Transcendentals 7e have the same number of chapters, allowing for a single Multivariable text rather than separate Early Transcendentals and Late Transcendentals versions. Chapters 1 and 2 have been combined--and some material has been moved to an appendix--to streamline the presentation of these early topics.

Revised: Throughout the text, the author has revised the narrative as necessary to improve clarity and aid in student comprehension.

New: Examples, margin notes, applications, and projects have been added. In addition, new collections of more challenging exercises called "Problems Plus" have been added, reinforcing concepts by requiring students to apply techniques from more than one chapter of the text. "Problems Plus" sections patiently show students how to approach a challenging problem.

New: This edition has been updated with approximately 25% more exercises than the previous edition, giving students more opportunities to practice concepts they have learned.

New: "PS" icons denoting problem-solving margin notes are aimed at increasing instructors' awareness of this important aspect of Stewart's approach.

Updated: Tools for Enriching Calculus--a free, online, interactive resource that allows calculus students to work with animations that deepen their understanding of key concepts by helping them visualize the concepts they are learning--has been updated with new problems and a new Flash design that is more visually appealing and engaging to students.

Hybrid Edition is NOT the same as "Single Variable Calculus, 7th Ed."

June 27, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This review is for the HYBRID edition, which is not the full book, leaving out some critical content that is included with the other 7th edition versions ("Calculus" and "Single Variable Calculus") by the same author. The differences are not mentioned anywhere in the Amazon product description, which appears to reference "Calculus," regardless of which of the 3 versions is selected for viewing. Additionally, the content shown when you click "Look Inside" is NOT from the Hybrid edition, which is not the same.

While the other versions of the book apparently have all required course content for a Calculus class, the Hybrid edition leaves out the end-of-section exercises normally assigned as homework (or for self-review). In the Hybrid edition, the missing end-of-section exercises are available on the publisher's "WebAssign" website, and access must be separately purchased for a minimum of $75.00. So by itself, the Hybrid edition won't be sufficient for a Calculus class unless it was specifically assigned by your instructor.

Good book but like many their are failings.

August 26, 2017

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This is a relatively good book on calculus.

However, this book does not explain the "why"s of calculus very well. I guess if you
are into rote problem solving without clear foundation, is is good book for you.

This textbook is 1200 pages. How many pages will be actually covered in one semester using this book?
The content is relatively well written (they had 8 revision so far to get it right). The amount of examples
is relatively large comparable to other similar text books.

My pet gripe in the textbook industry in the arrival of new editions every year or two. This book is no exception.
The difference between this version and version 8 a so slight, it begs the question "how do you justify a new +200$ text book"?
Another gripe. is that there are so many variations on similar topics, early trancedental, calculus on single variable, on multiple variables, etc.
If you cannot get at least that in a single volume 1200 page text book, then there might be other motive for all these different
versions.

I know, you have no choice is your school select this book to use in class.

Second review now that I have learned some Calculus

January 23, 2014

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Originally I thought this was one of the worst introductory Calculus texts ever written and this was after using Stewart's Precalculus
text which I thought was very well written and accessible to the target audience. I have now worked my way up to Differential Equations and Linear Algebra all totally on my own - no professors, classmates, lectures, etc. I mention this because my progress
has only to do with me and my textbook(s).
Most of the criticisms that I have of the textbooks I have seen still stand - they are poorly written for the target audience. However,
now that I have a more advanced perspective I can see that a lot of the published criticisms are the sour grapes resulting from
poor precalculus preparation, low motivation to study mathematics, poor writing and teaching, etc.
Having my experience let me now tell you how to learn Calculus:
1) Get real good at Algebra and Precalculus.
2) Use textbooks by Stewart, Larson and Edwards, Michael Sullivan, Thomas and Finney,
3) Do problems until your eyes are falling out of your head.
4) Write extensive notes and then ask yourself could someone learn Calculus with only these notes. If the answer is no throw them
away and rewrite them.
5) Use the Internet - you cannot imagine how many websites there are for all mathematics at any leve.
Finally, Dr.Stewart I apologize for the very badly inaccurate review I gave your book - it is not the easiest book for a beginner in
Calculus but it is accessible and good good preparation for DE's and Linear Algebra.

Reprint of 6e with a few minor differences

September 21, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This edition (with Enhanced WebAssign 2007/2008) is exactly page-for-page the same as Stewart's 6e "Single Variable Calculus Early Transcendentals (2003/2008)" except: 1) this reprint starts from page 1 of the original, so it does not include the Preface, "To The Student" and the Diagnostic Tests, and it does not have the nice detailed Table of Contents with page numbers and titles for each section (instead it has a one page TOC with the title of each chapter and their page numbers), but this reprint does include the Reference Pages cutout sheets 2) For reasons that are not clear, Appendix F includes 2 pages from the multivariable book on the proof of Clairaut's Theorem (for sections 14.3, 14.4), and 3) the index is taken from the complete single volume index, so it includes references to pages that are not in this book (from Chapters 12-17 which are part of the multivariable book).
Some of my students find the Diagnostic Tests to be very useful, and the extraneous references in the index can be annoying. I like having the detailed Table of Contents from the original version. Besides those annoyances, this is a great inexpensive printing of Stewart's 6e.

Good With or Without a Teacher

January 23, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I've always wanted to learn calculus. Sad, isn't it.
Anyway, since no one will let you audit classes any more I decided to teach myself. The problem is that not just any book will do when teaching yourself mathematics and I was about to give up when I came onto this one.
Most textbooks are just an aid for a teacher to use. This book embodies the teacher that wrote it.
In other words, most books have the material that you should learn in them but are missing the bits and pieces that explain how to get from point A to point B. In some cases the understanding requires only a bit of text but without it the student is left to guess and we all know where that gets you.
I can make it even simpler. I am not a wiz kid. Sometimes you need to draw me a picture. If I can learn calculus from this book then I think that just about any one can learn calculus from this book. I can't make it any simpler than that!
