Reviews

[Daniel]

after spending many late nights with this book I have developed a strange sexual attraction to it -- would recommend

[Hannah Sophia]

Bought this for 2$ at a book sale and read it until the Integrals chapter before 12th grade. It was extremely fun to study and there were so many problems that the fundamental concepts would just get ingrained in you after solving them all. Got a grade of 98 and 96 in basic calculus in 12th grade since the lessons were just like a review. A simple to understand “essential” math book that I’ll definitely always reference back to in college. Again, there are so many problems in this book to solve to train you rigorously.

Solid calculus text. Were I stranded on a deserted island, this would keep me entertained and busy for quite some time.

[Avinash Khatri]

Overpriced for the particular book, but is good to learn conceptual calculus.

[Steven Harmon]

293 pages before they kiss - worth it though

[Jason]

Used this textbook for Calculus I, II, and III and it helped me tremendously through its easy to understand nature

[Tisha Maryam]

DO NOT RECOMMEND. made me cry countless times throughout calc 1,2 and 3

[Chad]

At times I loved this book, at times I hated it, but it has consumed my life for the past couple months. Overall, a good calculus text, but at times the organization and order of the chapters has seemed strange.

[Travis]

A fairly good textbook in the hands of a good instructor. It did unfortunately lack the integration of inverse trig functions in chapter 5, which was disappointing. I'd recommend it though to a student with a thorough instructor.

[Oliver]

This book is pretty solid.

[Matt]

Was okay... Solid calculus text book.

[Yosef]

Got me through calculus 1 2 and 3, and remains my calculus reference.

[Roy Stillwell]
