Title: Just What an Undergraduate Calculus Text Should Be
Review: In all my 29 years teaching undergraduates, I have encountered few books as complete and well done as Stewart's. Every topic is first presented theoretically AND THEN illustrated through numerous, detailed and completely explained examples. Unlike most newer math texts, Stewart never relies on fancy pictures at the expense of concrete explanation, and unlike older books, doesn't just present theory and let the student attempt to figure out the problems (like Erwin Kreyszig does). A fine book!
