Caused much pain and suffering, but I brought it upon myself so,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I have beef with the fact that not all questions have answers to them

The amount of pornography in is disgusting I open up my teenagers copy and found an entire chapter about playboy.... Disgusting! Sad! Still gave it four stars though

I spent far too long reading this to not rate it. Now, you were not perfect. I noticed a couple mistakes in your selected answers section and I'm still salty that you didn't have answers to every question, but you got the job done. I have successfully made it through my first year of calculus. Thank you for explaining everything in so much detail it felt borderline excessive. I jest, of course; your explanations were great.

Never change, math. My favorite of your qualities is your reliability. I trust I'll be tasked with reading another textbook next year, but, until then, farewell. I carry your luck with me to the fateful AP exam.

Paired with some reggae in the outdoors, not a bad morning.

I used this for AP Calculus. I would recommend it to anyone taking that class or studying single-variable calculus.

I suppose only a trifle percentage of people would actually read Calculus: Graphical, Numerical, and Algebraic by Ross L. Finney, and then rate it with five stars, but I am not like most people. First of all, no one actually forced me to pick up this textbook; I actually chose to read by my own volition. In fact, I read it more like a novel than a study material, because the content is suprising entertaining . Besides limits, derivatives, and integrals, differential euqations, all of the standard material that all calculus students should know, this book also covers parametric, vector, and polar functions. Furthemore, the authors manage to keep this mathe experience enthralling by adding illustrations and information about the applications of each topic. Calculus has a basis in fluid and heat mechanics, pilot navigation systems, population estimates, minima and maxima of volume given vertain conditions, and area under curves.

One secondary fact I would like to mention is that I have seen this book before: my elder sister studied calculus in high school and I glimpsed at the cover about four years ago. Of course, I was too young at the tender age of ten to understand any of the fancy notation for derivation and integration , but I did promise myself that I would finish the book someday in the distant future, and what a splendid opportunity at this moment to execute this self-fulfillig prophecy!

One of the exclusive attributes of Calculus: Graphical, Numerical, and Algebraic is its list of founding mathematicians, all of those men and women who strived to undertsand the universe though symbols. Among them are Georg Riemann, Leonhard Euler, Maria, Agnesi, and Pierre de Fermat, and Gottfried Leibniz, whose efforts should make them even more renowned than Isaac Newton.

Overall, I would suggest this book to anyone who aspire to succeed in advanced mathematics. If the content of this book are too difficult for some, those same people should use the Internet to answer all of their questions or to research some of the techniques in this magnificent textbook by Ross L. Finley

From a teaching perspective...not a fan. Some of the organization is weird, and the book relies too much on numerical calculations for my taste. More to the point, the text is not useful. It takes me, the teacher, who spent her entire undergraduate experience doing calculus, 3+ readings to make sense of most of it. So how in the heck are students seeing this for the first time supposed to parse any of it? Not to mention that most of my students are English Language Learners.

Also, antidifferentiation is given, like, eight practice problems in one section of one chapter, and then two chapters later students are magically supposed to be able to use antidifferentiation to evaluate definite integrals. I don't know what kind of students the writers had in mind, but all the ones I've ever met have needed a little bit more than that.

Perfect for AP Calculus. With proof supplements from a great teacher, this book could be used for a tough college level course!

Right after the great war I read this compelling text by Ross L. Finney. 4/10 would not recommend
