Calculus

Product Information

This is true in all dimensions, hence the several variables version is that if the linear derivative, as a function of several variables, or the matrix of partials, is invertible at a, then so is the original function near a. Note: Some of the links - such as "Algebra Review" and "Lies My Calculator and Computer Told Me" - point to Acrobat PDF files.

One of the complaints one of my colleagues had about the text was that the problem sets in Stewart were too easy, so that was one of the major justifications for using Thomas, despite the exposition being sub par in my opinion.I do actually see a lot of comments on YouTube from students who are in a similar situation and also rely on videos. It is introductory, and addresses mostly elementary situations (although addressing more relevant problems in the problems section), therefore perhaps Spivak's Calculus may suit a more advanced or honors oriented class. This was really the only time I felt like the problem sets somewhat got away from what was written in the sections.

I have looked through and read several other Calculus texts over the years and, to me, few can compete with Stewart's exposition.You don't even solve any of the problems with Multivariable Calculus, so what is this even doing at the end? However, when I was first teaching myself Calculus a little over ten years ago, this was the text I had picked up, albeit it was an old edition, the 2nd Edition to be specific. The first part of the book sort of runs through a crash course in Pre-Calculus topics, which is nice if you were good at Pre-Calc and want a refresher. Much mathematical literature introduces a new concept, and usually introduces hard examples first or even trick problems. My latest book Snowflake Seashell Star: Colouring Adventures in Numberland is a maths colouring book, and it contains some images from calculus, like this one here.

This is perhaps the best way to self-teach yourself the mathematics required for college and prepare for each class, and that is exactly how this textbook helped me before I started the summer course. It provides learning content, homework, tests and practice problems with instant assessment and is proven to improve student grades. Used books have different signs of use and might not include supplemental materials such as CDs, Dvds, Access Codes, charts or any other extra material. The patient explanations, superb exercises, focus on problem solving, and carefully graded problem sets that have made Stewart's texts best-sellers continue to provide a strong foundation for the Eighth Edition.

He taught mathematics at Pennsylvania State University before serving at California State University, Long Beach, where he is currently professor emeritus.

The accompanying WebAssign includes helpful learning support and new resources like Explore It interactive learning modules. For me, it really wasn't until I was able to remove myself from the school system and read several Algebra text books and then felt quite prepared to take on Calculus.I was always placed in the accelerated program for mathematics when I was in High School and Elementary School, but I definitely always had a lot of trouble engaging the material during school itself.

I did not really know what I wanted to do, but I remembered having a passing interest in maths (this is in my late 20's). Some may find that newer textbooks have more updated material or better explanations, while others may simply want to switch things up and offer students a different perspective on calculus. It's all just backwards and it's no wonder I had a hard time in Pre-Calc and couldn't follow the material well.
