Negative Positive
Title: Particularly strong on applications!
Review: I have used this as a supplementary text in teaching calculus and have found it to be an excellent personal resource. The author's manner of explaining is delightfully clear. Stewart doesn't hesitate to expand his explanations, but he doesn't do it simply for effect: his words clearly help the reader to understand the concept.I particularly appreciate Stewart's use of graphics that can be understood without a great deal of technology. While this text can certainly be used in a technology-rich setting, it doesn't need either a computer lab or a graphing calculator to benefit from the explanations, the development, and the opportunities for skill-building or exploration that Stewart provides. I like it very much.
