The most fundamental reason this text was a success for me was the increasing difficulty and explanation of example problems after the introduction of a new topic. This version of Stewart's book introduced exponential and logarithmic functions in the first chapter and their limits and derivatives are found in Chapters 2 and 3. If you're learning from elsewhere and just need something that gives you an absurd amount of work to do without actually explaining how to do it, then this book is for you. That being said, once an enterprising student has gone through this text they may be ready to tackle the likes of Advanced Calculus or Vector Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Differential Forms: A Unified Approach.

I receieved an A in the course, from there I quit my job and enrolled at a university to study Applied Mathematics. That being said, his DE chapter is very well done, but it starts to waver a little bit when we get to Variation of Parameters and Series Solutions of ODE's.

The application chapters - including sections on differential equations - were useful stepping stones to more advanced classes, and the introduction of vectors is handy for those who expect to take linear algebra. This text embodies the broad principles of calculus reform - conceptual understanding motivated by real-world applications and the application of the rule of four in numerical, visual, algebraic and verbal interpretations.

Much mathematical literature introduces a new concept, and usually introduces hard examples first or even trick problems.
