Product Description
Stewart's CALCULUS: EARLY TRANSCENDENTALS, Fifth Edition has the mathematical precision, accuracy, clarity of exposition and outstanding examples and problem sets that have characterized the first four editions. Stewart retains the focus on problem solving and the pedagogical system that has made the book a favorite of students and instructors in a wide variety of colleges and universities throughout the world. The structure of CALCULUS: EARLY TRANSCENDENTALS, Fifth Edition, remains largely unchanged, the sole exception being that the review of inverse trigonometric functions has been moved from an appendix to Section 1.6. Stewart has made hundreds of small improvements: new examples, additional steps in existing examples, updating of data in existing examples and exercises, new phrases and margin notes to clarify the exposition, references to other sources and web sites, redrawn art, and references to the TEC CD (Tools for Enriching Calculus). These refinements ensure that students and instructors using this text are using the best resource available. The number of pages in the book, however, remains unchanged from the 4th edition. This edition is complemented with and expanded array of supplementary material for both students and instructors. These best-selling texts differ from CALCULUS, Fifth Edition in that the exponential and logarithmic functions are covered earlier. In the Fifth Edition of CALCULUS, EARLY TRANSCENDENTALS these functions are introduced in the first chapter and their limits and derivatives are found in Chapters 2 and 3 at the same time as polynomials and other elementary functions.

College Calculus Book February 9, 2009
Colin B. Avrech (Redmond, WA USA)
Important for my MAT150 course this calculus book is pretty standard as of 2008-2009. It arrived on time and in the condition described so I had no problems

This book came in better condition than I had interpreted. My daughter used it to pass her Calc class this past summer.
Shipping took a little longer than anticipated. I would recommend express shipping if you need the book in less than 2 weeks.
 One of the Best Textbooks I've Ever Used December 1, 2008
Eric Boyer (Canada)
This book is very well written and illustrated, and is definitely one of the best textbooks I've ever had. Presents material in a clear way that's easy to follow, and provides lots of examples. The format is well laid-out, which makes it easy to use for test prep, or for quickly looking something up. There are lots of practice questions of varying difficulty, and many application problems to show the real-world usefulness of math. The solution manual that comes with the book is very thorough and provides excellent descriptions of the solutions. This is one of the few textbooks that I didn't sell after completing the course.
