Summary: Pretty Good Book.....
Comment: I'm a high school junior and I used this for my calculus II class for Fall 2008 at my local community college as my school does not offer AP Calculus BC. So far, so good, I have no problems with it, the examples are a bit weak though as they pail in comparison to the level of difficulty in some of the exercises. However, as my teacher follows the format of the book directly, (Ch. 7-12) I can learn directly from the book as well as from my teacher, so the book is a good supplement. Since its a calculus II class, I cant comment on Ch 1-6, but I'll assume they're acceptable. We're only about 1/5 through the semester though, so I don't know how the rest of the book is, but the ample examples for integration by parts and the entire chapter on inverse functions are really well organized and simple to read, learn, and understand. Hopefully Ch 9-12 are as good as 7 and 8 so the semester goes by smoothly.

Summary: Left in the dark
Comment: I AM BOOKLESS B/C OF THIS SELLER. I had to barrow the text book for my Cal. III class from my teacher because I never got my own book. I e-mailed the seller and he said that he sent it and would check in on it. I have been trying to get a hold of him after his e-mail and have not been able to. If he was tring to make good with me I did not know about. I do not know if anything is happening.

Summary: NOT new
Comment: I ordered this book new from Amazon and was expecting it to be, in fact, in new condition. However, I was disappointed. The binding was worn away on the front cover as if someone had picked away at it. There are now ugly ridges on the front cover. The rest of the book is in great condition, but I was not expecting there to be any damage. The only reason I can't return it is that I need to use it.

Editorial Review for Calculus:
Stewart's CALCULUS, Fifth Edition has the mathematical precision, accuracy, clarity of exposition and outstanding examples and problem sets that have characterized the first four editions. Stewart retains the focus on problem solving and the pedagogical system that has made the book a favorite of students and instructors in a wide variety of colleges and universities throughout the world. In this Fifth Edition, he has made hundreds of small improvements: new examples, additional steps in existing examples, updating of data in existing examples and exercises, new phrases and margin notes to clarify the exposition, references to other sources and web sites, redrawn art, and references to the TEC CD (Tools for Enriching Calculus). These refinements ensure that students and instructors have the best materials available. The number of pages in the book, however, remains unchanged from the 4th edition. Further support for students and instructors is now available through a vast array of supplementary material.
