Synopsis "Single Variable Essential Calculus"

This book is for instructors who think that most calculus textbooks are too long. In writing the book, James Stewart asked himself: What is essential for a three-semester calculus course for scientists and engineers? SINGLE VARIABLE ESSENTIAL CALCULUS, Second Edition, offers a concise approach to teaching calculus that focuses on major concepts, and supports those concepts with precise definitions, patient explanations, and carefully graded problems. The book is only 550 pages--two-fifths the size of Stewart's other calculus texts (CALCULUS, Seventh Edition and CALCULUS: EARLY TRANSCENDENTALS, Seventh Edition) and yet it contains almost all of the same topics. The author achieved this relative brevity primarily by condensing the exposition and by putting some of the features on the book's website, www.StewartCalculus.com. Despite the more compact size, the book has a modern flavor, covering technology and incorporating material to promote conceptual understanding, though not as prominently as in Stewart's other books. SINGLE VARIABLE ESSENTIAL CALCULUS features the same attention to detail, eye for innovation, and meticulous accuracy that have made Stewart's textbooks the best-selling calculus texts in the world.

James Drewry Stewart (March 29, 1941 - December 3, 2014) was a Canadian mathematician and professor emeritus at McMaster University. He earned his master's degree at Stanford University and his PhD at the University of Toronto in 1967. His research focused on harmonic and functional analysis. In addition to his academic career, Stewart was a violinist and a member of the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra.

Stewart is recognized for his series of calculus textbooks widely used in secondary and higher education. Among his most notable works are "Calculus: Early Transcendentals" (1995) and "Calculus: Concepts and Contexts" (1997), both in the genre of mathematics textbooks. His texts are considered standard in many educational institutions worldwide.
