This is a specific-source template for the calculus textbooks of James Stewart (mathematician).Transcluding specific-source templates rather than writing out citations reduces code duplication across articles and allows improvements — such as adding a zbMATH number or wikilinking the name of an author or editor — to apply to all uses of the source at once.
James Drewry Stewart, MSC (March 29, 1941 – December 3, 2014) was a Canadian mathematician, violinist, and professor emeritus of mathematics at McMaster University. Stewart is best known for his series of calculus textbooks used for high school, college, and university-level courses.
In the present day, this problem is widely known because it appears as an exercise in many first-year calculus textbooks (for example that of Stewart [6]). Let a = the height of the bottom of the painting above eye level; b = the height of the top of the painting above eye level; x = the viewer's distance from the wall;
Recently, Katz & Katz [8] give a positive account of a calculus course based on Keisler's book. O'Donovan also described his experience teaching calculus using infinitesimals. His initial point of view was positive, [9] but later he found pedagogical difficulties with the approach to nonstandard calculus taken by this text and others. [10]
A 17-year-old boy has been stabbed and his e-bike stolen on a residential estate, police have said. Officers were called to Eastbury Way in Redhouse, Swindon, at about 17:50 GMT on Saturday, where ...
Bird flu cases are rising in U.S. states, with the first death reported this week in Louisiana. The spread of avian influenza (HPAI) has also impacted the nationwide supply of poultry products ...
In mathematics, the direct method in the calculus of variations is a general method for constructing a proof of the existence of a minimizer for a given functional, [1] introduced by Stanisław Zaremba and David Hilbert around 1900. The method relies on methods of functional analysis and topology. As well as being used to prove the existence of ...
The ascension of Thompson-Robinson, the 2023 5th-round pick who is also known as DTR, ends Winston's time as starting QB. Winston replaced Deshaun Watson midway through the Browns' Week 7 game ...
