Summary:

Stewart (McMaster U., and U. of Toronto) wants to convey a sense of the utility of calculus and help students gain technical competence in it, he says, but also to instill some appreciation for its intrinsic beauty. He focuses on understanding concepts, reflecting the trends since the 1986 Tulane Conference established conceptual understanding as the goal of calculus instruction, and presents each topic geometrically, numerically, and algebraically. Among the topics are functions and limits, applications of integrations, differential equations, vectors and the geometry of space, partial derivatives, and vector calculus. The sixth edition was published in 2008. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
