The first student question, answered here!

Good Afternoon Professor,

I just had a quick question concerning your book required for MAT 267.  I have the Calculus ASU book by James Stewart from 2013 (second edition I believe).  I was wondering if I could just use this book for your class instead of buying a new calculus book from the book store?  Thanks!

Very Respectfully,
**************

Sorry, the ISBN on my current book is 9781285100715 

The textbook for the course is listed on the course syllabus.   You asked this question before I announced the course syllabus, though and if would be useful for me to give a more detailed answer anyway, so here goes.  The textbook listed in the syllabus is Essential Calculus , Early Transcendentals by James Stewart, Thomson (Brooks/Cole), 2e,  which I believe is this one.  Notice that the ISBN of this text is different than the one you mention.  I can't really tell however, if the textbook you mention will do the job.  I suspect not: but you may wish to compare the sections that the syllabus says we will cover to the same sections of a new textbook owned by a classmate.
