Features: This book is one of the outstanding series of overseas mathematics textbooks, introduced from Thomson Learning Publishing Company. The textbook was globally distributed in 2003 with over 400,000 copies, capturing 50%-60% of the calculus textbook market in the U.S., used by prestigious institutions such as Yale University and over 600 other general colleges. The book has been rigorously tested through years of teaching practice, with comprehensive content and precise explanations. Each important topic is presented from verbal, algebraic, numerical, and graphical perspectives. The author and his assistants spent three years searching for teaching examples in various media that best reflect the application of calculus and incorporated them into the textbook. As a result, the examples and exercises in this book are closely related to real-life scenarios, effectively engaging students' interest in learning. Additionally, the language is simple, fluent, and highly readable, making it particularly suitable for students from non-English-speaking countries. It is worth mentioning that the book makes good use of technology. Accompanying the book are two CD-ROMs: one titled "Experience Calculus," which provides an experimental environment like a silent teacher, guiding students step-by-step to analyze and solve problems through exploratory and discovery-based methods, and can also link to the learning website www.stewartcalculus.com. The other CD-ROM, titled "Interactive Calculus," includes videos and audio related to calculus teaching. This book is suitable for undergraduate and graduate students in engineering disciplines at domestic universities and colleges, as well as students from non-mathematics majors (including humanities, economics, and management majors) for bilingual teaching purposes.
