I feel like Stewart wrote a chapter about Differential Equations and then the publisher decided to split it up, but, truly, the content he wrote about makes the most sense after Integral Calculus. His explanations make ideas come alive, and his problems challenge, to reveal the beauty of calculus. Stewart, who passed away in 2014, was a world-renowned author and mathematician publishing more than 70 textbooks over the course of his life. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. He completed his graduate studies at Dalhousie University and McMaster University, where he received his Ph.

His patient examples and built-in learning aids will help you build your mathematical confidence and achieve your goals in the course! While I didn't feel the need for examples and problems in all but a few areas, I appreciated the quality of available exercises in passing. In physics, we often use math to find the vector function of the curve of intersection of two surfaces. Since Stewart has passed away, sadly, it would probably be nearly impossible to add meaningful content in his style.By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions.

I would not recommend jumping to Principles of Mathematical Analysis by Rudin right away, at least not without an expert to help walk you through it.There are a few reasons why a school or professor may choose to replace the Stewart Calculus textbook. He is currently a professor of mathematics at Palomar College near San Diego, California, where he has taught for more than 20 years. Stewart was the author of the best-selling calculus textbook series, including CALCULUS, CALCULUS: EARLY TRANSCENDENTALS and CALCULUS: CONCEPTS AND CONTEXTS, as well as a series of precalculus texts.

Clegg co-authored BRIEF APPLIED CALCULUS with James Stewart and also assisted Stewart with various aspects of his calculus texts and ancillaries for almost 20 years. All used books might have various degrees of writing, highliting and wear and tear and possibly be an ex-library with the usual stickers and stamps.I think the student needs a fair amount of time playing with the general geometry around Vector Fields before attempting serious calculus techniques on objects within the field.

However, I have always maintained that Vector Calculus should be its own course and not even part of the standard 3-semester Calculus track most universities employ.

Some may find that newer textbooks have more updated material or better explanations, while others may simply want to switch things up and offer students a different perspective on calculus.

I think they were very concerned about how long the book already was, but, in my opinion, when books are this long, what's 100 more pages? to make sure you are truly understanding what has been written and make sure you are using notation correctly, having a discussion with someone trained in that field goes quite a long way! This version of Stewart's book introduced exponential and logarithmic functions in the first chapter and their limits and derivatives are found in Chapters 2 and 3.
