Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-03 Summary: a good textbook ... I taught many semesters of calculus out of this book. The kids who come to class and do their homework seem to like the book. I checked to see which books California universities used in their standard calculus classes. Half of the UCs use a Stewart text. Over 70% of the CSUs use a Stewart text. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-02-23 Summary: Overall Decent Calculus Book ... The obvious: this book is long, bulky and expensive. However, there is the option of buying it used, and if you don't intend to do all three courses of calculus (or you spend a lot of time carrying your books around), it may make sense to buy the book in parts -- it's also sold in Calc 1/Calc 2/Multivariable sections. As for the content, the text is nothing spectacular: while Stewart manages to nail some things, presenting them clearly and succinctly, there are also many long useless passages. My advice: don't try ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-02-17 Summary: Near Excellent. ... Outside a little more beaten up than expected, inside written in when seller said it was new. Other than that, great book, delivered when expected. ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-02-11 Summary: Definitely Used ... This product was used more than once. I'm just glad I received a refund for my return. Not buying from college books direct again. ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-26 Summary: excellent book ... Having read Strogatz's "Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos" Nonlinear Dynamics And Chaos: With Applications To Physics, Biology, Chemistry, And Engineering (Studies in nonlinearity) I can only say that this book shines in the same spirit of a man who is able to bring conceptual understanding of math to a level that the read is able to glimpse and understand the workings of the minds who derived and invented the theorems to begin with. Many reviewers here have already mentioned the heartfelt rendition of the author's friendship ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-05 Summary: Goind home ... Full disclosure: Don Joffray, about whom this book was written, was a great friend of my parents so I knew him as much more than a teacher. The great thing about this book is that the author, Steve Strogatz, paints an accurate, empathetic picture of Joff the man & Joff the teacher, and also weaves a compelling story about the enduring friendship between two math geeks (I say this with admiration). I am not a math major so some of the calculations went beyond my meager understanding, but that didn't matter. Even the ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-11-11 Summary: A very interesting book ... This is a very interesting book about the relationship between a high school student and teacher that extends long after the student has graduated. Because both student and teacher are math teachers, the correspondence between them frequently revolves aroung math problems that interest them, but it includes much more than that. Not being mathematically inclined whatsoever, I skipped over all the math, and found it a touching story. For those interested in the math too, it will be a double treat. ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-10-02 Summary: I really enjoyed it ... Very touching book. I admit I did not understand all the math ... I enjoyed seeing it, though.:) Bittersweet in a "benjamin button" sort of way. ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | The Calculus of Friendship is the story of an extraordinary connection between a teacher and a student, as chronicled through more than thirty years of letters between them. What makes their relationship unique is that it is based almost entirely on a shared love of calculus. For them, calculus is more than a branch of mathematics; it is a game they love playing together, a constant when all else is in flux. The teacher goes from the prime of his career to retirement, competes in whitewater...more

[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-11 Summary: A Comprehensive Textbook ... The texbook's scope is wide and encompasses algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and various concepts. The last chapter is a preview about calculus. The explanations are lucid and relavant to the exercise sets. In addition, there are numerous mathematical vignettes about concepts and historical people. After the completion of a precalculus sequence, the textbook is excellent as a reference. ...more

Calculus Made Easy
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-14 Summary: good book ... Just a quick review. This book can really explain things easier than what my text book does. Though some pages of the book are cut off a bit but not really a big problem. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-11-01 Summary: Clear and succinct, but not easy ... I like math and am a B or B-plus in aptitude; I think I am this book's audience. For me, it has been excellent, but for someone who struggles with math, it might not be as good. The book keeps the new ideas of calculus short and simple (in particular by leaving out the idea of a limit). But it does expect you to be clever with the algebra you already know. The problems ask you to extend what was discussed, not merely to repeat it. As Gardner says, traditional calculus textbooks must include every possible topic, so ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-10-30 Summary: Highly recommend 'Calculus Made Easy' for learning on your own ... Hello! Silvanus Thompson wrote an excellent book. I can see why this is a classic. He does a really good job of explaining calculus in a language that is both simple and understandable. However, I do have an issue with this edition. It is in deplorable shape concerning the format of the text -- pages are out of order, words are missing, and sometimes the text encroaches on the inner margin so far that it is hard to read (you have to open the book really wide). Overall, I give Silvanus Thompson an 'A+' for making a ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-10-11 Summary: How does this follow? ... I love this book, at least up to the bottom of page 23 (I just purchased the second edition from Amazon). There are two equations at the bottom of the page. Let's call them equation 1 and equation 2. Equation 2, the one at the bottom of the page, is supposed to be a restatement of equation 1. I cannot figure out how the author gets from 1 to 2. It seems to me that equation 2 should read [(x)e-2][(1+2dx/x)e-1].Can anyone help me with this? Thanks, Phil M. ...more

Be Prepared for the AP Calculus Exam
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-03-22 Summary: Good compact review, but weak on practice problems with fully-worked solutions ... This book focuses on the subset of first year calculus topics needed for the AP exams, and it provides comprehensive coverage of those topics. It also includes an Appendix on the use of TI calculator models 83, 84, 86, and 89. A graphing calculator (only certain models are allowed) is now required for the AP Calculus exams. Compared to other preparation texts covering similar AP calculus topics, this book is relatively short, running less than 400 pages. This brevity is achieved primarily in two ways, one is by providing ...more
