Calculus: Early Transcendentals (Stewart's Calculus Series) Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: On time shipping, very poor packaging.
Comment: The book arrived as promised using expedited shipping. However, the heavy text book was placed in a box twice the size of the book with a piece of bubble packing material. The weight of the book popped the packing material and it bounced off the sides of the box unprotected as it was shipped around the country. The book arrived with bent corners and a creased spine. Not much chance that I'll get a great resale price for it. Thanks a lot Amazon. Good work.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Great book...
Comment: This is a great book for people who already have a firm grasp on the understanding of mathematics. The problem sets show you various scenarios that allow you to use your newly found skills flexibly.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Awful
Comment: As another reviewer said, the learning curve for those coming out of pre-calculus is too steep. The sample problems presented in this book are not explained clearly, and the problem sets are useless when it comes to creating an exam.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Average for beginners
Comment: This book is written for those intending to move onwards in math, rather than those who are learning calculus for practical purposes. In general, the book is not user-friendly and at times throws in "points of interest" about math and calculus that are not labeled well, and can thus confuse/ distract the reader. The book does not contextualize what it attempts to teach and as a result, forces the reader to skim a chapter to understand the general thrust and conclusion, before attempting a detailed reading. I do not know of better calculus books, but for one inclined to search, this is not the one at which to stop.
