Purchase options and add-ons

This book is for instructors who think that most calculus textbooks are too long. In writing the book, James Stewart asked himself: What is essential for a three-semester calculus course for scientists and engineers? ESSENTIAL CALCULUS, Second Edition, offers a concise approach to teaching calculus that focuses on major concepts, and supports those concepts with precise definitions, patient explanations, and carefully graded problems. The book is only 900 pages--two-thirds the size of Stewart's other calculus texts, and yet it contains almost all of the same topics. The author achieved this relative brevity primarily by condensing the exposition and by putting some of the features on the book's website, www.StewartCalculus.com. Despite the more compact size, the book has a modern flavor, covering technology and incorporating material to promote conceptual understanding, though not as prominently as in Stewart's other books. ESSENTIAL CALCULUS features the same attention to detail, eye for innovation, and meticulous accuracy that have made Stewart's textbooks the best-selling calculus texts in the world.

Review what you know—and don't know—to ensure success on your next exam.

Comprehensive review sections follow each chapter with a "Concept Check" and "True/False Quiz" that allow you to prepare for upcoming tests.

Deepen your understanding by visualizing concepts

Margin notes clarify and expand on topics presented in the main body of the text by providing cautions, historical background, and references to Tools For Enriching Calculus and to www.stewartcalculus.com. The website is a free, online, interactive resource that allows you to work with animations that you are learning.

James Stewart received the M.S. degree from Stanford University and the Ph.D. from the University of Toronto. After two years as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of London, he became Professor of Mathematics at McMaster University. His research has been in harmonic analysis and functional analysis. Stewart’s books include a series of high school textbooks as well as a best-selling series of calculus textbooks. He is also co-author, with Lothar Redlin and Saleem Watson, of a series of college algebra and precalculus textbooks. Translations of his books include those in Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Korean, Chinese, Greek, and Indonesian.

A talented violinst, Stewart was concertmaster of the McMaster Symphony Orchestra for many years and played professionally in the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra. Having explored connections between music and mathematics, Stewart has given more than 20 talks worldwide on Mathematics and Music and is planning to write a book that attempts to explain why mathematicians tend to be musical.

Stewart was named a Fellow of the Fields Institute in 2002 and was awarded an honorary D.Sc. in 2003 by McMaster University. The library of the Fields Institute is named after him. The James Stewart Mathematics Centre was opened in October, 2003, at McMaster University.

I really love this book. I used it since calc one, and here I am using it for my final semester of calc. I would say only 5% of the book's explanations are bad, but everything else is really well written. It's great to reference back to as well. I haven't gotten below a 90 on any calc exam, amd even achieved an A in calc 2. Don't let the low star reviews discourage you. Those are either complaints about the physical quality (which to me is great), shipping experience (not the responsibility of the book haha), arriving in bad condition (that's the seller's fault, not the book's fault, those reviews should be on the seller's page), not having the access code (which isn't even advertised to be included), and other dumb things like not liking the course. As long as you're a hard working student who takes time to actually read and understand the material, this book will serve you well. Highly recommended.

My entire university math series uses this book and while I can say it has pretty helpful contents that's probably not the reason you're reading this. I can say for sure amazon rentals are reliable and convenient. The book was in good condition and it was easy to renew the rental on a semester basis.
