Title: Calculus: Concepts and Contexts by James Stewart ISBN: 0-534-37718-1 Publisher: Brooks Cole Pub. Date: 13 December, 2000 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $135.95 |

Summary: I liked it.
Comment: The book doesn't introduce calculus to high-school students all that well. In fact, anyone that hasn't had any previous experience with calculus may find it a little confusing to use, if they opened the book at the middle and started off from there. Anyone trying to use this book with poor prior experience on calculus should start reading it calmly from the very beggining. The examples are very good, and there are real world examples of the applications of this mathematics.
Don't be too hasty, calculus isn't an easy subject. And this book didn't make me understand the fundamentals of calculus that well, even though it makes an attempt. I does however provide a lot of do-able exercises, and fun computer based exercises, to help you learn how to use calculus. I would recomend this book to 1st year universitary math students, or people who serious want to learn calculus on their own. The book is easy to read, and not very hard to understand.
I would rate it 5 stars after another edition perhaps. Well worth the price.

Summary: Buy another book
Comment: Out of all the Calculus books I've ever come across, I've never found one that's more amazingly difficult to understand and comprehend. If you're stuck with this book for a University class, please pick up another one to learn from. Having a deep math background and trying to "brush up" on Calculus, this book made me confused and didn't coincide with how I learned Calculus the first time.
The sad thing is that I gave this book 2 stars mainly for the picture of the Guggenheim Bilbao on front.

Summary: Calculus:Concepts and Contexts
Comment: I used this textbook for my high school calculus class, and we found many mistakes in the book itself. The textbook is quite large in size, but I think it is missing some important topics. Also, the explainations for solving different problems is extremely vague and I personally had a lot of trouble just trying to figure out what the author was getting at, rather than trying to figure out the math problems. I would not recommend this book because the explainations are too vague and difficult to comprehend.
