Dewey Decimal Number: 515 EAN: 9780534378622 Edition: 2nd ISBN: 0534378625 Label: Thomson Brooks/Cole Manufacturer: Thomson Brooks/Cole Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 750 Publication Date: December 13, 2000 Publisher: Thomson Brooks/Cole Studio: Thomson Brooks/Cole Editorial Review: Product Description: James Stewart's well-received SINGLE VARIABLE CALCULUS: CONCEPTS AND CONTEXTS, Second Edition follows in the path of the other best-selling books by this remarkable author. The First Edition of this book was highly successful because it reconciled two schools of thought: it skillfully merged the best of traditional calculus with the best of the reform movement. This new edition continues to offer the balanced approach along with Stewart's hallmark features: meticulous accuracy, patient explanations, and carefully graded problems. The content has been refined and the examples and exercises have been updated. In addition, CALCULUS: CONCEPTS AND CONTEXTS, Second Edition now includes a free CD-ROM for students that contains animations, activities, and homework hints. The book integrates the use of the CD throughout by using icons that show students when to use the CD to deepen their understanding of a difficult concept. In CALCULUS: CONCEPTS AND CONTEXTS, this well respected author emphasizes conceptual understanding - motivating students with real world applications and stressing the Rule of Four in numerical, visual, algebraic, and verbal interpretations. All concepts are presented in the classic Stewart style: with simplicity, character, and attention to detail. In addition to his clear exposition, Stewart also creates well thought-out problems and exercises. The definitions are precise and the problems create an ideal balance between conceptual understanding and algebraic skills. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - High qualityA good buy at a decent price. Some of the pages were stained with grease, but nothing too bad. I would consider this seller for more transactions. Rating: - Was just what I needed and saved!I am only going to take Calculus 1 and saw that the Calculus edition was around $200.00 and was a HUGE textbook. I didn't need that. All I needed was the basic to get me through the first course. And I found it for only 115.00 including shipping and handling. I saved a lot and it was worth it. Rating:  - Excellent serviceProduct was exactly as specified. Very quick delivery. Would definitely order from this seller again! Rating: - Even AnswersThe book should also have even answers. We should unite and form a union of students against even homework assignments. Rating:  - Horrible....I am taking Calc II and am using this book. This book is horrible! I missed a lecture and when I tried doing the homework I got stuck. There are no example like the examples. I am here on this site to buy companion book so that I can do better on my homework. I wish they would stop using this book at university level courses. |
