My friend and I are both enrolled in Calculus II, but at different Universities. I'm at SUNY Brockport, and she's at Buffalo State College, both in New York. We thought we had the same book, but apparently we don't and I'd like to know the difference.
My book is called: Calculus: Early Transcendentals Single Variable 5th Edition by James Stewart. It is black and blue/green with the corner of a violin on the right side of the front cover that looks like an integral sign (how cute.)
Her book is Calculus: 5th edition by James Stewart. Same guy. Her book is black and brown though....even with the same design.
So what is the difference? What does it mean by "Early Transcendentals Single Variable?" Will the chapters and numbered questions be the same?
See, she hasn't bought her book yet and we were going to share mine for the time being, but if her class requires the brown version and mine the blue...then we're not sure if we can.
anyway help would be grand! thanks!

No, these will be quite different. Your book introduces
the calculus of the trig functions, logarithm and
exponentials early in the course. Your friend's
introduces them in a second course. I taught out
of similar books by Edwards and Penney sometime ago.
Good luck to both of you in Calculus II!

The curricula at each school is different; hence, different books in terms of content.
