Synopsis

This text by best-selling author James Stewart embodies the broad principles of calculus reform--conceptual understanding motivated by real-world applications and the application of the "Rule of Four" in numerical, visual, algebraic, and verbal interpretations. At the same time, this text retains the best of traditional calculus. Stewart emphasizes visualization and problem solving.
