In summary, the person did not use this book for their previous course, but their new university requires it for calc I, II, and III. They purchased the 6th edition, which covers functions/models to vector calculus and differential equations, but they see others with smaller volumes of the same book. They are wondering if the smaller volumes are the same book or if they need to return their edition. The ISBN for their edition is 978-0-495-01160-6 and the required ISBN is 978-0-495-38417-5. This book covers chapters 1-6 for calc I, while the smaller volume only covers calc I.

I didn't work with this book for my last course, but my new university has this listed as the book for calc I, II, and III. I purchased the whole 6th edition, but I see people that have smaller volumes of it. Is this the same book as the volumes or am I going to have to return it?

I have ISBN-13: 978-0-495-01160-6
(It goes from functions/models all the way up to vector calculus and Differential Equations)

and the course requires ISBN-13: 978-0-495-38417-5Hopefully someone knows. Thanks

Edit: I see now that there is a science book section, I apologize for posting in the wrong forum if I did such.

Both are acceptable for calc I (assuming it will cover chapters 1 through 6).

The book you own will cover calc I, II, and III while volume 1 only covers calc I.
