(1 stars) - Do NOT buy this book!
I've been using this book for nearly a semester now and I can say with all confidence that it is the worst Mathematics book I have ever read in my life. It was written in a very long-winded and unclear style which discourages the reader from actually sitting down to read it.

Maths is all about succinctness; something this book definitely does not have. There are many examples, which is great, but the preceding theory and explanation is too weak to support the reader's understanding. Too many 'terms' which made me lose track on many occasions. Instead of limiting the number of terms used and sticking to as few versions of a formula as possible, Mr. Stewart appears to love rearranging formulae and giving them numbers which leaves the reader completely confused. Trust me, you do not need 1100+ pages of text (and many pictures!) to teach you good Maths. Take my advice and seek some other book, anything but this book.

(4 stars) - Calculus: Early Transcendentals (Stewart's Calculus Series)
This product was purchased for my granddaughter who is a sophomore in college. She received the book in a timely manner and found it to be in the condition that was listed in the catalog. I could not comment on the content, because the book was shipped directly to her.

(5 stars) - Great Service!
Thanks for the great service! The book arrived in an appropriate amount of time, and it was in pristine condition!

(4 stars) - Required Text for Calculus I
This text is required for an online Calculus I course at the UC Berkeley Extension.

So far, easy to read and understand. This class is a self-paced study program, so learning is from the text, vs. lecture or class discussion. So far, I haven't had any problem understanding the concepts presented.

(5 stars) - Great Seller!
I was desperately in need of this book that was sold out locally and the seller was able to get it to me fast and at a great price. The book was in excellent condition, without any tears, marks, or water damage. Thanks again!
