Multivariable Calculus: Concepts and Contexts

by James Stewart

Stewart's Multivariable CALCULUS: CONCEPTS AND CONTEXTS, FOURTH EDITION offers a streamlined approach to teaching calculus, focusing on major concepts and supporting those with precise definitions, patient explanations, and carefully graded problems. CALCULUS: CONCEPTS AND CONTEXTS is highly regarded because this text offers a balance of theory and conceptual work to satisfy more progressive programs as well as those who are more comfortable teaching in a more traditional fashion. Each title is just one component in a comprehensive calculus course program that carefully integrates and coordinates print, media, and technology products for successful teaching and learning. The Multivariable Calculus edition contains chapters 11-18 of the full text, and is intended to serve as a single-semester text.

Reviews

[Sean · Rating 3 out of 5]

Decent for multivariate calculus but it starts to explain some concepts poorly, especially with the arc length and curvature section and really anything that deals with polar coordinates. Probably good as a refresher but for self-study, I found myself referring the the Briggs textbook, especially for last chapters.

A good college-level survey of multivariable calculus.
