• James Stewart

  The late James Stewart received his M.S. from Stanford University and his Ph.D. from the University of Toronto. He conducted research at the University of London and was influenced by the famous mathematician George Polya at Stanford University. Dr. Stewart most recently served as a professor of mathematics at McMaster University, and his research focused on harmonic analysis. Dr. Stewart authored a best-selling calculus textbook series, including CALCULUS, CALCULUS: EARLY TRANSCENDENTALS and CALCULUS: CONCEPTS AND CONTEXTS as well as a series of successful precalculus texts.

• Explore It interactive modules in WebAssign engage students and develop conceptual understanding. Students learn the concept, watch a video, explore and test the concept, and discover when they would use it.

• The updated WebAssign course features the interactive MindTap reader, new animations, lecture videos and more.

• The new loose-leaf version of the text and Cengage Unlimited offer more affordable options for students.

• DIAGNOSTIC TESTS: Four diagnostic tests in the beginning of the book gauge students’ proficiency in Basic Algebra, Analytic Geometry, Functions, and Trigonometry. Answers are provided, and students who don't do well are referred to where they should seek help.

• CONCEPTUAL EXERCISES. The most important way to foster conceptual understanding is through assigned problems. Stewart Concepts offers various types of problems, including explanations/mathematical writing problems, use of graphs and tables, Concept Checks, and True/False quizzes in the review sections.

• GRADED HOMEWORK EXERCISES. Each exercise set is carefully graded, progressing from basic conceptual exercises and skill-development problems to more challenging problems involving applications and proofs.

• REAL-WORLD DATA. Interesting real-world data gathered from a variety of contemporary sources introduces, motivates, and illustrates the concepts of calculus.

• INSTRUCTOR RESOURCE GUIDE WITH SOLUTIONS. The instructor's resource guide contains an abundance of resources keyed to the textbook by chapter and section, including diagnostic tests, chapter summaries, teaching strategies, chapter tests and final exams, and more.

Cengage provides a range of supplements that are updated in coordination with the main title selection. For more information about these supplements, contact your Learning Consultant.
