1. Clear, accessible exposition that anticipates and addresses student difficulties.
2. Layout and figures that communicate the flow of ideas.
3. Highlighted features that emphasize concepts and mathematical reasoning including Conceptual Insight, Graphical Insight, Assumptions Matter, Reminder, and Historical Perspective.

A rich collection of examples and exercises of graduated difficulty that teach basic skills as well as problem-solving techniques, reinforce conceptual understanding, and motivate calculus through interesting applications. Each section also contains exercises that develop additional insights and challenge students to further develop their skills.

Customer Reviews

Caculus I Hardcover

I would buy from Zachary Pellen again. He was very quick to email me, and send the book quickly and very gracious. The calculus book was in excellent condition like said. Great way to purchase used books for college.

Good Condition

The item came in good time and condition. The book has easy to follow examples to follow when doing homework. The only problem I have is that you can't get a hold of the solutions manual and this book isn't on cramster. So there is no way to know if you did the odd problems correct.

Good Textbook

I used this book for a calculus course (I only used the multivariable sections). It is an excellent book with very clear explanations. The problems and exercises and very helpful. This book made calculus intuitive and easy to learn.

Solid College Calculus Text

This is definitely a very thorough calculus text for any college or AP level calculus 1/2/3 course. I myself am a biomedical engineering undergrad student and had Calculus BC AP credit entering college, but I still needed this textbook because it includes multivariable calculus as well. It was my text for multivariable calc. I still used this book to review all of calculus 1/2 when I needed to go back. I would say that it was definitely a great refresher for calc 1 and 2, and it undoubtedly helped me in calc 3 with the actual multivariable work. All of the concepts and proofs are clearly presented.
