Stewart received his master of science at Stanford University and his doctor of philosophy from the University of Toronto in 1967. He worked for two years as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of London, where his research focused on harmonic and functional analysis. Stewart is best known for his series of calculus textbooks used for high school, college, and university level courses. His books are standard textbooks in universities in many countries. One of his most well-known textbooks is Calculus: Early Transcendentals (1995).[1] Stewart was also a violinist, and a former member of the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra.[2] Integral House{{Main|Integral House}}From 2003 to 2009[2] a house designed by Brigitte Shim and Howard Sutcliffe was constructed for Dr. Stewart in the Rosedale neighbourhood of Toronto at a cost of $32 million. He paid an additional $5.4 million for the existing house and lot which was torn down to make room for his new home.[3] Called Integral House (a reference to its curved walls, and their similarity to the mathematical integral symbol), the house includes a concert hall that seats 150. Stewart has said, "My books and my house are my twin legacies. If I hadn't commissioned the house I'm not sure what I would have spent the money on." Glenn Lowry, director of the Museum of Modern Art, called the house "one of the most important private houses built in North America in a long time."[4] Personal lifeStewart was involved in LGBT activism. According to Joseph Clement, a documentary filmmaker who is working on a film about Stewart and Integral House, Stewart brought gay rights activist George Hislop to speak at McMaster in the early 1970s, when the LGBT liberation movement was in its infancy, and was involved in protests and demonstrations.[5] DeathIn the summer of 2013, Stewart was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a blood cancer.[6] He died on December 3, 2014, aged 73.[7] HonoursIn 2015, he was posthumously awarded the Meritorious Service Cross.[8] References1. ^https://books.google.com/books/about/Single_Variable_Essential_Calculus_Early.html?id=wsTbft6GDtcC 2. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/science/alexs-adventures-in-numberland/2015/oct/05/maths-palace-built-by-calculus-rock-star-on-sale-for-14m|title=Maths palace built by calculus 'rock star' on sale for £11.4m|last=Bellos|first=Alex|date=2015-10-05|work=The Guardian|access-date=2019-02-28|language=en-GB|issn=0261-3077}} 3. ^[https://www.thestar.com/news/article/933017--the-house-that-math-built "The House that Math Built".] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121023121105/http://www.thestar.com/news/article/933017--the-house-that-math-built |date=2012-10-23 }} TheStar.com. 2011-02-04 4. ^[https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB123872378357585295 "An 'Accordion' of Wood and Glass"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170820051758/https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB123872378357585295 |date=2017-08-20 }}, Wall Street Journal, 2009-04-03; retrieved 2009-04-08. 5. ^1 {{cite news |url=http://dailyxtra.com/toronto/life/proud-lives/the-many-parts-james-stewart-96867 |title=The many parts of James Stewart |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141213232150/http://dailyxtra.com/toronto/life/proud-lives/the-many-parts-james-stewart-96867 |archive-date=December 13, 2014 |publisher=The Daily Xtra}} 6. ^[https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/for-millionaire-mathematician-james-stewart-music-will-play-on-after-his-death/article20714879 "For millionaire mathematician James Stewart, music will play on after his death"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170501124833/http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/for-millionaire-mathematician-james-stewart-music-will-play-on-after-his-death/article20714879/|date=2017-05-01}}, The Globe and Mail, 2014-09-21. 7. ^Press Release {{webarchive|url=https://archive.is/20141204165059/http://www.fields.utoronto.ca/press/14-15/JimStewart2014.html|date=2014-12-04}}, fields.utoronto.ca, 2014-12-04. 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.gg.ca/honour.aspx?id=10112&t=15&ln=Stewart|title=Meritorious Service Cross Citation}} Further reading
