The following is an attempt at solving the problems in James Stewart's fifth edition Calculus Early Transcendentals book from McMaster University. I have posted the solutions to these problems here for three reasons:


 * 1) To give me a reason to do my calculus homework
 * 2) Hopefully someone else will find this work useful
 * 3) Learn about formatting wikipedia articles and mathematical formulas

Chapter 1

 * 1) Four Ways to Represent a Function
 * 2) Mathematical Models: A catalog of Essential Functions
 * 3) New Functions from Old functions
 * 4) Graphing Calculators and Computers
 * 5) Exponential Functions
 * 6) Inverse Functions and Logarithms
 * Chapter 1 Review

Chapter 2

 * 1) The Tangent and Velocity Problems
 * 2) The Limit of a Function
 * 3) Calculating Limits Using the Limit Laws
 * 4) The Precise Definition of a Limit
 * 5) Continuity
 * 6) Limits at Infinity; Horizontal Asymptotes
 * 7) Tangents, Velocities, and Other Rates of Change
 * 8) Derivatives
 * 9) The Derivative as a Function
