The Calculus 7 of a Single Variable
A revision and renewal of this calculus textbook, now in its seventh edition. The author has sought to utlilize the technology now available for the teaching and learning of calculus. The hand-held graphics calculator is one such form of technology that has been integrated into the book. Topics in algebra, trigonometry, and analytical geometry appear in the Appendix.

First,
I'm appalled at the lack of respect and talent so many reviewers have shown for wasting any reader's time in whether or not this is a quality textbook.
I presently have 9 Calculus I, II and III compendiums that in the Pac 12 [WSU] equate to 3 semesters of Calculus.
I take pride in my growing collection of tombs as a Mechanical Engineering graduate and Computer Science major well into my industries.
This textbook puts nearly all Calc-I/II/III textbooks to shame. The ones on par happen to sit on my shelves.
Calculus is in every aspect of the Universe. Live it, love it, breathe it.
Whether applying calculus through Linear Algebra with Analytical Geometry or not, this textbook should be a required supplement for any major ABET accredited university in America. If you don't know what ABET means then look it up.
The price of textbooks has exploded since I graduated and left to Silicon Valley in '96.
The quality has plummeted in the one subject area all applied sciences must understand in order to propel generations to come to stand on the shoulders of their forebears--The Calculus.
Leithold respects the student by assuming you truly want to understand how it connects us all to our world we see, don't see and all in-between.
This textbook is for future Pure and Applied Mathematicians, Engineers (Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Materials Science, Mechanical, Biochemical, Biomechanical, etc), Physicists, Chemists, Microbiologists, etc.
If you're planning to be a business/finance/economics major with a master's or greater this textbook is also for you.
Panning this book makes you look foolish. You clearly don't know the subject, never took it or if you did, never understood it because you never went on to fields applying the theories in the real world.
It's simply top of the bill material.

Finally, good book, it proved to be more detailed than Demidovich's and more challenging than Larson's; I used the three of them and others in chunks, but Leithold's The Calculus 7 is the only one I read thoroughly.

Wow. I can't believe I'm finally done with this book. The topics for the last exam in my current Calculus subject isn't covered here though. Of my three calculus subjects, The Calculus 7 has proven itself to be extremely useful on the first one as I was still trying to be comfortable with the more complicated math back then. Easy to read and the examples and exercises are relevant. Definitely the best reference for calculus.
I loved all of my math subjects. The calculus series especially. It can be challenging sometimes, but being able to arrive at the right answer is very rewarding. And the topics are pretty cool too.Thanks for guiding me throughout my adventure, Leithold.

Leithold is a genius. TC7 is the most comprehensive calculus book designed for both high school and undergraduate students.
I was in second year college when I bought my paperback TC7. I compared its content and "friendliness" with many calculus books, and I can tell you that it's the best calculus book ever! It is abundant with illustrations and has examples with very wide scope. It lets you practice your skills with many exercises. Some of these exercises have answers at the back of the book. If you're a math, physics or an engineering student, TC7 is a must have.
