Does or did anyone around here use the Stewart? In grade 12 we used the regular 5th edition and now in university we get one that's labelled "Early Transcendentals" but still looks like the same book, 5th edition. What's the difference?
 
from what I recall, they are exactly the same, but in parts. rumors around campus is saying that the the publishers are trying to claim that they are making smaller books (two halves instead of one whole) so we carry less weight, but they just really want to make more money.

There are multiple parts, I think.

There's the Early Trans. and the Multivariable stuff.

I've seen a little thin Multivariable book, for a 200 level course. Does the non-labelled book contain both parts?

My package contained a big textbook (Early Trans) and two solutions manuals, one Early Trans and the other Multivariable. Terrible set, though. The chapter numbering wasn't even consistent between the text and the solutions.
 
Use an old version if you can. We had to use the 5th edition, but that cost like well over 100 bucks. Igot the 4th edition with an all solutions guide for 13 dollars total and I aced single,multi, and vector calc.. problems barely change, and even the content and explanantions are generally the same throughout
