For the 3rd Edition, the authors synthesized feedback on the text and MyLab(TM) Math content from over 140 instructors and an Engineering Review Panel. This thorough and extensive review process, paired with the authors' own teaching experiences, helped create a text that was designed for today's calculus instructors and students.

Awesomeeeeeeeeeee

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.
