SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the comparison between James Stewart's Calculus 6th edition and its smaller volume counterparts. The user inquired about the compatibility of their purchased edition, ISBN-13: 978-0-495-01160-6, with the course requirement, ISBN-13: 978-0-495-38417-5. It was confirmed that the full 6th edition encompasses content for Calculus I, II, and III, while the smaller volume only covers Calculus I. Therefore, the user can retain their edition for the entire course sequence.

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.
 
Ok great, I need it for Calc II/III, so that works out great. Thanks.
