Customer Reviews

We used this book in high school and college

This book is an excellent primer for calculus. The topics are presented in a logical order, starting with some pre-calculus "review", going through differentiation, integration, and series, and eventually working into multiple integrals in varying coordinate systems. There are very few errors (if you find the error in Example 8 of section 7.7, post your findings below! we found this when we went over it in high school).

The Review on The best Calculus book out there

Let me start by saying that I have tried reading several Calculus books and have found them to be either too vague and/or not analytical enough from a student's point of view. But with Howard Anton's Calculus books, especially if used in conjunction with the Comapnion books, learning calculus becomes very imformative and fun. This book helped me get A's in Calculus 1 and 2. This is indeed, a GREAT book. Unfortunately, I've lost it. Hence, I'm here.

The ultimate for self-teaching..

..of calculus. This book is the best Calculus book I have seen so far, and I've been doing calculus for quite a while now. It's excellent if you need to self-teach yourself, refresh your memory, or even to just have it as a resource. I would recommend this to anyone.

One of the best books I have on Calculus...

Absolutely the best comprehensive book on calculus I had a chance to study. If you are looking for a good calculus book, you just found it! The solution manual is also available...

It teaches you what other college calculus books don't.

In taking the whole calculus sequence, teachers have pretty much forced me to buy a calculus book with every new class I took. I bought Anton's Calculus With Analytic Geometry for my first calculus class ever and throughout the following courses, I have always relied on it to explain to me what isn't explained in other calculus textbooks. It is not only a classic, but in my opinion, it's the best there is on the subject.By the way, the companion's books written by James E. Ward, are also great books. They take the reader into greater depth in understanding Anton's examples and explanations. These books are money well invested if you are serious about learning calculus, over time they will always have a special place in your library.
