A review by alexabarca
Calculus: Early Transcendentals by James Stewart
Read sections of this book for Calculus AB, Calculus, and now finished the entire thing while taking Multivariable Calculus. The following sums up some the good and bad parts of the books
Pros of the text: Really good explanation of proofs, a lot of worked-out examples, the writing is clear and precise, gives good background introduction into single and multivariable calculus.
Cons of the text: Doesn't do a good job relating the practice problems back to the information found in the chapter. Another major con is that the book doesn't offer a strong intuition as to why things are the way they are.
Keep in mind, this from the perspective of one student. Furthermore, since this is a textbook, it's an extremely subjective rating... so I guess I'll settle at 4 Stars??? Idk, it really depends on you.
