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
