Customer Reviews

Was just what I needed and saved!

I am only going to take Calculus 1 and saw that the Calculus edition was around $200.00 and was a HUGE textbook. I didn't need that. All I needed was the basic to get me through the first course. And I found it for only 115.00 including shipping and handling. I saved a lot and it was worth it.

Excellent service

Product was exactly as specified. Very quick delivery. Would definitely order from this seller again!

This is a _stellar_ text!

I've been swamped with homework in general, and have been behind in many classes. So, often times I won't have the foundations to understand the current concept my calc teacher is explaining in class. However, with this calc book, the explanations are so clear, and the in-text examples and practice problems so plentiful, that I can truly say I'm confident in my calculus skills, even without any teacher instruction. Which isn't to say you should [AP] advanced procrastinate like I'm doing right now. But.. It's really a superb book, and possibly my favorite HS/technically college-prep textbook ever. The only downside, though, is the online supplementary material doesn't seem to work for me no matter what I do. Maybe it needs teacher intervention for things to show up? It seems like it'd be a great source of extra problems, but all I can seem to find are flash videos for a couple sections a chapter. Oh well. But again, this text really makes me happy. Get it, it's def worth your time, and a spot on your bookshelf.

this book is good

This is a well put together, comprehensive, and easy to understand calculus book. The material and explanations are succint, thereby not confusing. For anyone who should be taking calculus, this is a good book.
