I've had my nose in this hefty Stewart tome for years and years. It's served me well but it's outlived its usefulness to me. It's far too numerical and formulaic without giving a treatment to the true analytical theory that underlies the beauty of calculus as a discipline and a science. This is merely "toolkit calculus" and I fear it abstracts engineering and science students away from the underlying theory that mathematicians are treated to. This makes for a decent human calculator. Engineers should be applied mathematicians, not calculators.

Alternatives: early editions of Thomas, Apostol, or Spivak.

Was super helpful, but made the concepts harder to understand than they needed to be

My last math class. Ever!!!
Freshman year me would have fainted if I told her I took and passed this class 🫶🫶
I liked how all the theorems were connected at the end!

The concepts are routinely engaging but also made me cry.

Well it took me a full year but calc 1,2,3 are over! calc finale this week(wish me luck) calc one was hell, calc two was heaven and three would have been heaven if I did my homework, I’ve put myself in hell now. And I deserve that. Not as good as a rom com, but the ending made me cry. 🥀🫣🔥🐐🙈 don’t read this one if you want to have a life✨😭

[Cooper Ackerly]

Well, at least I know what I'm not going to major in now.

This book was very educational and I enjoyed doing the problems.

Literal king! Love this man! He did it again! Beautiful math textbook. Read it!

Éste libro me acompañó durante todo el cuatrimestre en Cálculo II para Matemáticos/Físicos.

La verdad es que es muy útil. Explica los contenidos de manera simple y concisa. La lectura se hace rápida y amena. Es uno de esos libros de texto que dan gusto leer. La materia se me hizo super liviana con él.

Tiene muchísimos ejemplos clave para ver la dificultad que entrañan algunos temas.

Hace hincapié en la parte gráfica de la materia todo el tiempo, lo que está bueno porque después los gráficos para las integrales salen facilísimo.

Una crítica que podría hacerle es que algunas demostraciones faltan. No es lo suficientemente estricto con eso, pero supongo que es porque la materia en sí tiene un tinte práctico más que teórico.

Recomendado para todo el que se quiera adentrar en el cálculo de varias variables.

Stewart is such a plagiarist.

Cal I, Cal II, and Cal III (my favorite), all taught from this book in college. It is still on my desk today and my first reference for Calculus.

Very useful.
