I used this book for Calculus 1, 2 & 3. It's decent at points, but really fell down at others, and tended to give really bad examples or none at all. I felt it nearly impossible to understand the last chapter. thank god for online resources, because with this book alone I would have been in trouble.
A great calculus book which explains the subject in a comprehensible way so people can understand it. Used it for cal 1, 2 and 3 and use it for review now.
An OK read. I focused on the multivariable calculus chapters in the book. Concepts were explained well, but could be realized with better theoretical explanations.
Used it for Calc 1 & 2. Transferred to a different uni, the in-house Calc 3 book they had made me miss this book sorely. Not bad at all, I can only remember one or two sections that I couldn't wrap my head around.
This was an okay math book. It was very well-written with great explanations in the beginning, but around Chapter 6, the explanations became more muddled and cloudy.... hence my evaluation.
