Summary: Comprehensive textbook.
Comment: I have currently used it in order to refresh my basic calculus. I realize that there are many books of this type available and it is impossible to create a reliable comparison, however Stewart's Calculus is widely used in Colleges as well.
Based on my experience, this is not a bad example of a math textbook. What I want to emphasize - learning was quite pleasant by exploring and working through plethora of examples and projects. Physics applications use interchangeably Engineering Units System (pounds, foot, miles) and MKS System (Newton, meter, Joule) - and the first should be avoided. After all, we live in the XXI century.

Summary: Stewart provides a firm ground for calc beginners
Comment: In the world of introductory physics, there is clearly a division: those who hate Stewart, and those who love Stewart. I, frankly, am neither: but I realize that Stewart's many strong points outweigh the weak points.
Beginners often will find pure theory and proofs alien to their minds, as they are just trying to grasp how to apply what they are learning --- like how they may go about obtaining derivatives and plotting periodic functions. Stewart handles this well: while providing a good theoretical background (he states theorems and proves most of them quite clearly and succintly) he does not inundate the wide-eyed innocent with epsilons and other frightening Greek characters. Stewart stresses some very important and difficult concepts to grasp --- like the many methods on integration involving 'guessing' substitution methods and others ways of integrating which involve understanding what the answer might be in advance by scanning the integral first, etc. Stewart also introduces some differential equations and has a wonderfully long section on series which stress their most useful applications -- the convergence and divergence of series and the Taylor and Maclaurin series representations of functions.
Stewart's text is clear and easy for the student to work through either in a class setting or independently. I should know -- I taught myself Calc II (integration to series) using this book, and now I am doing quite well in advanced calc (integral transforms, partial differential equations, etc). Stewart sets the stage for success.
This book can be easily used by students at any age who have had up to the level of trigonometry.
