Stewart’s logical motion from question to proof illuminates the central concepts of single variable calculus for a student who has had trouble grasping the motivation behind such proofs in the past. Especially appreciated, even central to my enjoyment, were his extensive and passionate inclusions of concepts, bridging Greek philosophy, physics, and many other applications both abstract and real. There is a certain poetry to this breakdown of the world through numbers, but I wonder if that’s just me fetishizing the language.

Overpriced and poorly constructed, with pretty standard math textbook material on the inside.

Bittersweet journey :)

This is more of a review of calculus than a review of the book itself. Calculus is fine. This book so boring and mind numbing every time I wonder whether insomnia is a thing, I read. It's the epitome of life-not-changing.

A clear treatment of introductory calculus. Lots of examples throughout. I also found that the Early Calculus Transcendentals website had some very helpful resources.

I only have one thing to say: I hate calculus and will never take it again.
