Once again keeping a keen ear to the needs of the evolving calculus community, Stewart created this text at the suggestion and with the collaboration of professors in the mathematics department at Texas A&M University. With an early introduction to vectors and vector functions, the approach is ideal for engineering students who use vectors early in their curriculum. Stewart begins by introducing vectors in Chapter 1, along with their basic operations, such as addition, scalar multiplication, and dot product. The definition of vector functions and parametric curves is given at the end of Chapter 1 using a two-dimensional trajectory of a projectile as motivation. Limits, derivatives, and integrals of vector functions are interwoven throughout the subsequent chapters. As with the other texts in his Calculus series, in Early Vectors Stewart makes us of heuristic examples to reveal calculus to students. His examples stand out because they are not just models for problem solving or a means of demonstrating techniques - they also encourage students to develop an analytic view of the subject. This heuristic or discovery approach in the examples give students an intuitive feeling for analysis.

Review: Adv Calculus - The seller paid a lot of money beyond what was described for shipping to get me the text in time for my emergency tutoring session. Much appreciated. Text in great condition. Thank you.

The book came very timely and was in the condition described. The book was fairly used but was a good price.

They made it fair
I ordered this book as a hard cover and in 'GOOD' condition. What I got was a soft cover in pretty bad condition. I was frantic as I ordered it a month before my son was to go to college and the way they do their shipping I couldn't get a tracking number until over a week after purchase. Luckily it showed in time but it was awful. I was concerned that the cover would even last through the semester. I contacted them via email about the tracking and after I received the book and they said that their record showed me getting a hard cover. Somebody in their processing department is not doing their job. How do you mistake a hard cover for a soft cover? YOU CAN'T! Anyway I didn't have time to do the whole trade out so my son took the book. I suppose (after reading the reviews) I should consider myself lucky as nothing was written in the book. THEY DID REFUND ME THE DIFFERENCE IN PRICE FROM A HARD COPY TO A SOFT COPY AND THEY DID IT RIGHT AWAY. Just wish I had gotten what I wanted.
