Summary: Best Math Book I Ever Had
Comment: This is the beginning of my third semester of calculus. I bought this book a year ago and used it for Calc 1 & 2. It is hands-down the best math book I have ever had. It is easy to read, had great graphics, and the student solution guide on the Internet is a life-saver.

Summary: Your Average Calculus Text, but not the best by far
Comment: This year my school switched Calculus textbooks and used my class as the guinea pigs to test out this book. I did not care for it as much as the brand we had used in the past. My main complaint is about the explanations and example problems. I felt the explanations were frequently incomplete and after reading them over many times, it was still confusing as to how they got from point A to point B. I did not feel the sample problems were representative of the type of problems asked in the exercises for each section. On the otherhand, the problems were very wide-ranging which is nice considering many math textbooks just have the same problem over and over again but with different numbers. If you don't depend on the explanations too much and just need the book for the homework problems, this shouldn't be bad. And even if you do need the explanations and sample problems to help you, I did and I still maintained an A average in the course.

Summary: Solid Foundation in Calculus
Comment: I would reccommend this book to those seeking a solid and thorough foundation in Calculus. The book is so rich that it can be used straight out of Pre-Calc and is still interesting and useful after taking 3 semesters of calculus. The exercises are EXCELLENT. The solution manual is sold seperately but is an essential tool when working the exercises.
