Summary: Good for those who have already taken calculus
Comment: I agree with those who said that this book is not for beginners. It does start off with epsilon delta proofs after all. How ever, this is one of the most useful reference books i've ever used. Granted the book is huge, but it has practical applications in many fields. Be warned though, it's many for people that are strong in the math and sciences. Still, it's a good reference book to have around.

Summary: Good book, not great.
Comment: I took a basic calculus sequence in 1988 from the edition of Salas, Hille that was available at that time. I have not seen this new edition with Etgen, so I can only comment on the older editions. I found the calculus of one variable material to be well written with good helpful examples and numerous exercises. The multivariable material was not very well done ,however , and I paid the price for this later on in my math education. I think Salas, Hille was a good book for single variable calculus, but get another book when you get to multivariable.

Rating: 5
Summary: Not for the mediocre
Comment: This book is a stunning rebuke to all attempts to dumb down the math curriculum in high schools and colleges. This book, in my opinion, expects the student to have mastered precalculus at the level set forth in, say, David Cohen's Precalculus with unit-circle trigonometry (ISBN 0-534-35275-8). It introduces mathematical rigor in the Calculus 101 semester (of a three semester calculus program) and thereby begins preparing the math major for the hard analysis courses that comes later on. There are no cute stories featuring 'How I Use Math In The Workplace' to inspire you - your self esteem will be hard won as you master the concepts as presented here (especially the problems). The book's greatest strength is that it is basic and traditional in its approach to calculus - no problem or example requires obscure special tricks from mathematical journals or Isaac Newton level ingenuity. This book is a must get!
