Summary: good but solutions manual is a must have
Comment: This is a good book for calculus. I usually go to class and do not undestand the professor because he speaks a different language then come home and figure it out from the book. The solutions manual is a must have for this course unless you have an excellent teacher or tudor. I find it helpful to check my problems half-way through completing them to make sure I am on the right track. And when I do not understand the text book instructions, the solutions manual usually puts me on track.

Summary: Classic "Attachable" book
Comment: Requirements for all books should be;
(a). being able to feel attachment for.
(b). clearly understandable to readers in the assumed level.
(c). benefitial to buy and read.
(d).[equivalent to (a), (b), and (c)]. unique.
This book satisfies all the above conditions [and (d)]. The style is very accessible to everyone who knows algebra. Math lovers who want to go beyond algebra should buy this book. Now, its particular uniqueness are the followings: mine has been separated into many stapled pages, though I personally like to sort them whenever I touch the book; examples are enough to illustrate introduced theorems. Of course, it doesn't end up with down-to-earth proofs. Wherever that might happen, it says so, and theorems that can not be proven with attainable knowledge are "left for advanced Calculus courses." Consequently, all presented proofs are quite rigorous in understandability.
(c) will follow for appropriate readers.
Good to start with, and will be one of your old friends.

Summary: Calculus 8th Edition Varberg, Purcell, Rigdon
Comment: This book stinks. Most of the positive reviews came from mathematicians not from students that have to study from this book! My fear of calculus is worsen after using this book. For someone who try to make it though college and working her tails off this book isn't helping. I'm not saying that it have to be easy, but there are so many erros in this book that I wasted my time trying to figured it out how to solve some problem that isn't even correct! Many students told me that have they not been taking calcus before, they probably won't pass the class. This book doesn't give good method of how it goes from point A to point B. There were a number of times where I would stare at the pages, wondering how the book came up with the answers, (was it magic). Another very annoying thing about this book is giving the easiest example problems that it can. This can really screw me over when it gives an oversimplified example for a theorem, and then in the problem set, there isn't any guide of how I can solve it. There were alot of problems that I couldn't even start because this book didn't give me adequate explanations or examples! Bottom line is, I don't think I'm that stupid, but this book really hurt myself esteem.
