    I bought this text for about $20-40 less than anywhere else. It is full of lots of things i dont understand and it's heavy. What can I really say, it is a text book. :) 5 stars for great Amazon price.

    Prescribed with uni, but it's very informative, there's a lot of examples over describing which can be a downfall, but easy self check at the back with answer pages.

    This book is huge. A bit on the verbose side. If you haven't had any maths for the last 30 years start here.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Vraiment utile avant l'Analyse calcul différentiel et Intégral ( Calculus)
    Reviewed in France on 14 January 2018
    Verified Purchase
    J'avais cru que l'achat des livres Analyse d'une variable et de plusieurs variables de James Stewart était suffisant pour comprendre la Physique classique..et la relativité restreinte.

    Je me suis rendu compte que mes notions d'algèbre et de calcul vectoriel étaient insuffisantes

    Donc je me suis penché sur un gros bouquin soit PRECALCULUS de James Stewart.... fabuleux!

    Dommage que ce livre n'est pas traduit en français... Madame Micheline Citta-Vanthemsche... au travail!

    The explanations and examples are fantastic for self-study, which is what I wanted. I just wish the authors would provide answers to all the exercises, not just the odd numbered ones, although I understand why they don't.
