Summary: I wish it had more....
Comment: This book was a bummer, man. I LOVED the Schaum's Outline for PreCalculus and it was awesome. This book however, left me wanting more. It needs more SOLVED exercises. In each section you get about 3-5 solved problems and then 10-15 problems with answers without solutions. I bought this book hoping it would be a supplement to my text book, but it just didn't have enough step-by-step solutions which is what I need when I'm learning new material.

Summary: Schaum's Calculus
Comment: I've worked with several versions of the Schaum's Calculus
over the years. This work has excellent coverage of derivatives,
integrals, curvilinear motion, polar coordinates, indeterminate
forms, indefinite integrals, centroids, arc length, tests for
divergence/convergence, partial derivatives, volumes, triple
integrals and a host of exotic areas. There are many multi-
dimensional diagrams to aid in your understanding of this
fairly complex subject. I did well in Intermediate Calculus
garnering an "A". In addition, the Fundamentals of Engineering
Licensure Exam covered quite a bit of basic and intermediate
calculus. This is an excellent supplementary work to complement
the course textbook and class notes.

Summary: An excellent companion to Calculus
Comment: I found this book to be a very good supplement to anyone taking a calculus course. The main highlights (and some, but few) lowlights are as follows:
The Good:
1. LOTS and LOTS of topics covered ranging from limit concepts to l'Hopital's rule to integral tests to multiple integrals, this book covers A LOT (and even a brief intro to differential equations.)
2. Enough practice problems to ensure that the reader will comprehend the material (as is the case with most Schaum Outline books).
3. Lots of graphs for visual learners.
4. A fraction of the price of most calculus books.
The Bad:
1. The only bad thing I could possibly think of in this book is that it explains vector concepts and differentiation and integration of vector functions and gradient, divergence, and curl, but leaves out Green's and Stokes' theorems (must be covered in the vector analysis Schaum book).
For more detail, check out the list of chapter topics on the back cover of the book (it's a pretty thick paragraph)
