Calculus
Fall 2024

Note on the Text

The Calculus text you will use depends on the professor that is teaching the course. I will be using the Stewart text below. (For the other Calc courses, please check with the instructor!).

If you're buying this on your own: Caution! The publisher has many versions of this book, and only a few will work for this class. We teach using the "Early Transcendentals" textbooks, and in the 7th edition, there is: (1) the full, main textbook (which is the first link below, and could be used in all three semesters here at Whitman, although several professors use free editions of other texts), (2) The single-variable version of the full textbook (Chapters 1-11, or the equivalent of Calc I and II) can be used if you're definitely not taking Calc III.

NOTE: Of the other versions out there, do NOT buy the text with HYBRID written across the front- It doesn't have any section exercises! (You have to purchase additional online access).

Here are links to texts that are OK (In particular, note the ISBN numbers

Here is a link to the main text: "Calculus, with Early Transcendentals", by James Stewart (7th edition). This textbook will be useful for all three semesters of Calculus (and I recommend keeping it as a reference text!).
If you are only taking Calc I and II (and not III), you may choose to purchase the "Single Variable" version of the textbook. The initial chapters (Chapters 1-11) are identical. The previous link contains Chapters 12-17, which are covered in our Calculus III course.
