SynopsisThis book is a response to those instructors who feel that calculus textbooks are too big. In writing the book James Stewart asked himself:What is essential for a three-semester calculus course for scientists and engineers? Stewart's ESSENTIAL CALCULUS: EARLY TRANSCENDENTALS offers a concise approach to teaching calculus, focusing on major concepts and supporting those with precise definitions, patient explanations, and carefully graded problems. ESSENTIAL CALCULUS: EARLY TRANSCENDENTALS is only 850 pages-two-thirds the size of Stewart's other calculus texts (CALCULUS, Fifth Edition and CALCULUS, EARLY TRANSCENDENTALS, Fifth Edition)-yet it contains almost all of the same topics. The author achieved this relative brevity mainly by condensing the exposition and by putting some of the features on the website www.StewartCalculus.com. Despite the reduced size of the book, there is still a modern flavor: Conceptual understanding and technology are not neglected, though they are not as prominent as in Stewart's other books. ESSENTIAL CALCULUS: EARLY TRANSCENDENTALS has been written with the same attention to detail, eye for innovation, and meticulous accuracy that have made Stewart's textbooks the best-selling calculus texts in the world., This book is a response to those instructors who feel that calculus textbooks are too big.

Nearly a A in calculus! Could have been this book.
Bought this for my grandson who is a freshman engineering student. He said his course was mostly online and didn't have a text or didn't have a text that earlier students thought was a good one. I didn't get any feedback on this textbook but he just came two percentage points from an A in his just completed calculus course. Has to be better than the miserable textbook I had for calculus 60+ years ago and I don't think I even knew anyone that got that close to an A!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
