to a more modern approach (like Stewart’s)?

If you’d like, I can:

Some professors post selected solution sets for their honors calculus tracks. Tips for Using Solutions Effectively

Websites like Mathematics Stack Exchange are invaluable. If you search for the exact wording of an Apostol problem, chances are it has been thoroughly discussed, dissected, and solved in multiple ways by professors and graduate students. Final Thoughts: The Value of the Struggle

The problem sets are legendary—and brutal. They range from computational checks to theoretical proofs. Consequently, a becomes not a crutch, but a necessary companion for verification and insight.

Scalar and vector fields, line integrals, and surface integrals (e.g., Stokes' Theorem). Probability & Numerical Analysis

Apostol wrote the book to teach mathematical thinking. Using solutions the wrong way will negate the value of the book.

Many of the textbook’s problems have been broken down step-by-step by contributors.

While older, official solution manuals or instructor editions are sometimes available through academic libraries. These are the most reliable, though they may not cover every single exercise. 2. Online Communities & Forums (Open Solutions)

If you got it wrong, don't just erase your work. Figure out where your logical step deviated from the correct method.
