    Good book, arrived with damage. The front cover has a slight crease, the back cover has box cutter marks, and other small torn sections around the side.

    This is for my brother who suffered a brain injury. He loves calculus and this is a lot of help getting his mind excersized. Thank you, you’re always great about shipping and customer service.

    Book came in perfect condition. This edition is much worse than the previous edition. Problems are either really easy or extremely difficult. There is no middle ground.

    I am taking calculus next semester and wanted to find the cheapest and best quality book. I ended up ordering from textbookoverstock and it got to me before the estimated shipping date and was in excellent condition (it was rated as acceptable but it looked like it had barely been used).
    Overall this has been a great experience and has saved me $100+

    Edit: the book has flaws but overall its a good calc book. The homework is challenging but its not too bad. It was an integral (get it integral! Haha) part of my calc 1 and 2 and it was easy to get into… Stuart is the standard for calc books so it is good. Just look out for mistakes. I think during calc 1 and 2 I found 3 or 4 mistakes but nothing to extensive.

    Protip: use Slader.com for help with problems and you 100% do well.

    This textbook is fantastic! So much information in one area, I just wish that there were more problems to practice with. I feel like I should be able to fully understand each concept, and I don’t have enough questions here to do so. An easy fix to this is to have the answers to the even problems, which doesn’t exist sadly. What is the point of solving challenging integrals if you are unsure of what the answer is?

    Absolutely amazing introductory Calculus textbook! I have used this book for four Calculus classes and it has been superbly clear, illustrious, explicit, and sometimes entertaining. I particularly like Stewart’s treatment of each new theorem/topic via geometry, algebra, and plain words. This allows the student to more simply define the new concept in more ways than one, or the way that best suits them. My only complaint is the lacking of even problem solutions. However, online websites such as Chegg or Slader suffice, or are even better, considering they come with step-by-step solutions. If you are the wondrous student, oftentimes Stewart includes the proofs of new theorems or definitions, allowing the student to internalize more deeply the concept. I especially like the historic side notes in nearly every section i.e. history of different notations, Newton & Leibiniz, Cauchy, Rolle, Lagrange, etc. The most fundamental reason this text was a success for me was the increasing difficulty and explanation of example problems after the introduction of a new topic. Much mathematical literature introduces a new concept, and usually introduces hard examples first or even trick problems. This is not the way to initially understand a concept. Stewart will introduce easier examples and even introduce the exceptions or odd ball cases to every defintion afterwards. This way, the book teaches through progressively harder examples. If you are in search of a rigorous calculus textbook, this is a supplement to that rigorous textbook. It is introductory, and addresses mostly elementary situations (although addressing more relevant problems in the problems section), therefore perhaps Spivak’s Calculus may suit a more advanced or honors oriented class. Please please pick this book up! It is a gem for undergraduates!

    James Stewart is putting out more updates than Tu-Pac, and is just as dead. This is a loose-leaf version of an overpriced college textbook, so it allowed me to only bring the chapters I would need of an otherwise HEAVY book. My bookbag, and my back, love that feature.

    Best book for Calculus! The good thing from American School books. The writers want us to learn from them and not only sell them.

    An improvement from the 7th edition, for sure. Also a really nice looking book, keeping mine.

    One of ‘the’ books to really get the grasp of what calculus is. Lot of examples, exercises and background information. Must have for every student taking serious calculus course. If you need a good understanding of the basic concepts of calculus, e.g. limits, this is the book for you. I hope it will also encourage others to write about calculus.

    “I’m attending a university and we are using a textbook from another author (Calculus 2nd Edition by Briggs, Cochran, and Gillet). The book I am using for school that is required is not that great because it is written as if you know your math pretty well. What I mean is, you are suppose to know formulas you might have not seen before. With Stewart he explains where you get the formulas from.
    I remember grabbing a Calculus textbook when I was taking the AP CAL AB course back in high school (2 years ago). I grabbed the Stewart textbook and calculus made sense after I read the chapters I needed to. I now own two different textbook. If you read the Stewarts Calculus textbook, calculus will make sense and you’ll understand the concepts. I use this as my official textbook instead of the one that we are suppose to use at my school that everyone is suppose to use. I have no problems with this textbook. The exercises and all are somewhat hard if you approach them without even reading the section. Please read chapter 1 because it makes calculus more understandable. Stewart is the best. I didn’t even know he was that popular. Calculus is also somewhat like geometry in the calculus 1 or AP CALC AB course.”-My Son

    P.S I bought this for my son.

    If it were me, I would give it 1 star. Because, Math. But my daughter, the math education major, loved it! She is using it and talking about buying it to have! She’s a little strange like that.

    So I guess if you have to take Calculus then this would be the book for you!

    This is a great book to learn Calculus from the beginning, all of the way to Vector Calculus! Most of the explanations and examples are straight forward and easy to follow. Its chapter on sequences and series is very well done in particular. Chapter 16 is lacking a little in thorough explanation that made more sense to me when I touched it up in my physics course, but overall, I highly recommend this book!

    Amazon makes life wonderful. One of the toughest job of a parent is getting your children to College. Tuition is already expensive, couple with astronomical prices on text books who can afford College Education anymore.

    Thank you Amazon for making College Education a little bit affordable through this program of yours. You are the cutting edge entrepreneur amazingly making life easy. Hurray and Congratulation fo just being the best.

    Delivery was quicker than expected and the book was in better condition than expected. Very pleased with the delivery.

    The author clearly cares about math and students. The word problems are as varied as heart pumping blood volume, economics and the design of Speedo suits to minimize drag. The best thing about the book, in my opinion, is that there are many many problems. I hate it when there are not enough problems to give you that feeling that you really ‘get’ it.

    The book is very heavy. I would not recommend this book for anyone with arthritis or weak wrists.

    Chris freeman (verified owner)

    It goes into a lot of harder-constructed math later on, which is very welcome because it takes a relatively slow approach, growing in difficulty. It has a lot of examples to solidify ideas, I have made it about halfway through. The raw calculus, derivatives and a lot of it’s integration I’ve gone through is very good material. I like it. Plenty of problems don’t have answers, but your computer is your best friend in verifying your suspicion.
