Multivariable Calculus

By James Stewart

Book Overview

James Stewart has carefully and completely revised the best-selling calculus text in North America, retaining the focus on problem solving, the meticulous accuracy, the patient explanations, and the carefully graded problems that have made this text work so well for a wide range of students. In the new edition, Stewart has increased his emphasis on technology and innovation and has expanded his focus on problem-solving and applications. ..When writing his previous editions, Stewart set out to bring some of the spirit of Polya to his presentation. This resulted in the ''strategy sections'' in the First Edition and the ''Problems Plus'' and ''Applications Plus'' sections in the Second Edition. Now in the Third Edition, he extends the idea further with a new section on ''Principles of Problem Solving'' and new extended examples in the ''Problems Plus'' and ''Applications Plus'' sections. Stewart makes a serious attempt to help students reason mathematically.

Great

Unbelievable solution manual. Shows how to work out problems, so you don't want to burn your book after working for three hours on change of variable triple integrals, etc. A definite must for the last few chapters of the Stewart book.

Great manual when you are stuck.

This solutions manual contains every odd excercise from the text. It gives great step by step solutions, even showing how to simplify the answers. Calculus can be confusing to even the brightest students, and this manual will not only insure that you get your homework complete, but also that you LEARN the material-which is the point of class last time I checked.

Excellent Book

This book is a guide of Chapters 11 to the end of the Stewart Transcendental Calculus book. It is just as good as the single version edition, with clear answers that are well drawn out.

Who this book really helps

Many of the above reviews are contradictory... Here's the scoop as I see it... THIS BOOK: MULTIVARIABLE CALC is for the last several chapters (13-18)... Much of Calc III covers atleast 13 and 14... If you are in Calc I or II, use the SINGLE VARIABLE Solutions manual (Chapters 1-12)... Just straightening things out... Hope this helps!

A Very Useful Study Aid

This manual gives the solutions, with work, to the odd-numbered exercises in James Stewart's Multivariable Calculus (fourth edition). This coincides with chapters 11-18 of his Calculus (fourth edition) and chapters 10-17 of his Calculus: Early Transcendentals. It is both concise and sufficient, and can be a very useful tool for understanding the concepts taught by the exercises in each section. It is equally useful for helping on a problem when one gets stuck. (Of course, these benefits will be curtailed if you have a teacher who compulsively assigns even-numbered exercises simply to annoy the students.) Also keep in mind that the manual covers only the multivariate portion of the Stewart texts, typically covered during the third semester of college calculus. With these caveats in mind, I consider this manual to be a valuable tool for any calculus student using the multivariate portions of Stewart's textbooks.
