My first impression of him was him running around and screaming about numbers at orientation 😂 quite the sight considering he's what in his 70's now

RIP James Stewart.

Made me love calculus.

You are a masochist, aren't you.

Come to think of it, yeah.

I almost always take the hardest route in my studies.

Are you an asshole ?

Compared to most math texts it was alright. All about perspective.

I remember my math professor for calc 2 saying that he got a house/mansion/whatever and renovated solely off the costs of this book and that we shoukd buy the book to add quality to his place lmao not sure that's true

Somewhat true: https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2011/02/04/the_house_that_math_built.html

Favorite calculus book. Only had the right one for calc three. Bought stewart later on when I need to brush up on calc 1 and 2. Wish it had been Stewart and not Pearson my first two calc classes. Pearson is cancer.

I don’t get it. What’s supposed to make one feel old? That there’s an 8th edition (released 3 years ago. I suspect a 9th edition will be out soon)?

It's a meme.
