Summary: Simply an absolute help
Review: I am a college student currently enrolled in Multivariable Calculus and found that this book helped me through much of it. Whenever I needed a question answered I picked up this book to teach myself.

Summary: Give me a break
Review: I don't spend $200.00 to "think it through" or to "think ahead several chapters." If I need a challenge I'll circumnavigate the globe in a sailboat, if I need to learn, it had better be all laid out for me "mechanically", and the thinking bit will naturally follow.

Summary: Worst Calc Book I've Ever Seen
Review: I found this book (and the corresponding student solutions manual) to be completely useless.The book dives into advanced concepts with few examples. The book seems to assume the reader is already fluent in the subject matter. If your college/university uses this book, you have my pity!

Summary: Not too bad...
Review: I thought the text wasn't too bad, but considering the material until about chapter 17 was quite easy, that is really not saying much. The book didn't give appropriate examples of all the different special cases of line and surface integrals, which made 17.3-17.7 quite difficult; I had to learn surface integrals elsewhere. This book wasn't horrible, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Summary: could be better but does the job.
Review: the chapter on vector calculus was confusing and the examples were ridiculous in that they didn't fully teach the concepts. if you want a real calculus book, try Anton. half of our class used Anton's Calculus to learn the material since the chapters are in the same order pretty much.

Summary: Nothing explained
Review: This book does a pretty terrible job of explaining anything. It seems to gloss over the theory very quickly, maybe assuming we already know it (in which case we would have no need for the book)! It has a few examples, which are decent in that they illustrate the ideas but they are not enough in number nor in variety. While doing the problems in the book whenever I get stuck I often find that the book is of no help in helping me understand, either because the examples are too specific or more often than not because there is no explanation at all. This book has a lot of great problems that I guess promote understanding (as someone else has mentioned), but it does nothing to help you solve them, and that's the major flaw of the book which is why I simply cannot give it more than 2 stars.

Summary: Very Good Book
Review: This book encourages readers to think and understand the basic concepts of Calculus rather than to work mechanically through different problems and memorize the solutions.
The derivations offered in this book are easy to follow and helps readers to learn the concepts in depth. Unfortunately, this book is not intended for advanced Calculus course and, as a result, it lacks complete derivations/proofs to some theories presented in advanced-Calculus textbooks.
On the whole, this is an excellent textbook for a Calculus course!

Summary: Stewart Solution Manual for Calculus
Review: This is NOT the solution manual for the second half of Stewart's Calculus, 5th Edition (Thomson Publishing). It's part 2 for an earlier (obsolete?) calculus book. If you need the solution's manual for Edition 5, order Dan Clegg's Student Solutions Manual for James Stewart's (Multivariable) Calculus (Thomson Publishing, 2003).
