This is a great self-teaching text. I'm currently in high school and I wanted to get a little ahead of the game so I searched for online calculus texts and found this one. The website ( MIT Text Publications) has all the chapters in pdf format complete with the answers to the odd numbered questions. Uses interesting examples such as the application of calculus to physics and economics.

A wonderful calculus book, must have if you love good book

I first saw this book as a MIT textbook. Read it briefly and absolutely loved it. I learnt Calculus many years ago and hope I had this book then. The book is so clear written and easy to understand. I am buying this book for my son now. I am sure it will be a great help for anyone reads this.

Strang Calculus Book

This book has excellent explanations, and is well organized. Usefull as a reference, and to teach yourself calculus. I used it all through college as a supplement (and sometimes replacement) for the assigned text.

An excellent text

If you intend to teach yourself calculus, or if you are looking for a text for review, this one would be an excellent choice. The topics are well explained and well motivated by applications. The book covers a wide array of topics and each of them is clearly developed. I would choose this as the text for a class if I were to teach it. I certainly recommend it for those learning outside the structure of a classroom.
