udos to Professor Stewart for his contributions to the field of Calculus. I have not personally been in one of his classes, but I have used his textbooks extensively in my teaching and research. His textbooks are well-written, clear, and comprehensive, making them a valuable resource for both students and instructors. Stewart's approach to teaching Calculus is highly praised for its emphasis on conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills. His textbooks also include a variety of real-world applications, making the subject more relatable and engaging for students. Overall, I believe Professor Stewart's textbooks have played a significant role in shaping the way Calculus is taught and learned today. He will be greatly missed in the academic community.
