Summary: Excellent material, comprehensive writing
Comment: I used this book during my two Calculus courses at college. Usually not studying at home during the whole semester meant that I had to sit down and study half the book 2 days before each final exam.
I found that to be quite easy a task with this book. Anton has written a high-density volume, that nevertheless does not bring a student (or anyone else, for that matter) to his knees trying to figure out all this math. Every chapter is clear and comprehensive, and the examples are very well set, giving the reader a sense of understanding every single line. The unsolved exercises at the end of each chapter are gradually increasing in difficulty, giving the solver a solid grounding on the material covered in the chapter.
Overall, one of the best college books I have ever used, not implying that it could not be used by anyone interested in calculus simply for delving deeply into its wonderful realms.

Summary: This book is truly the best Intro Calculus text available.
Comment: I have taught Calculus at the University level for well over 20 years now. When I first arrived, the school had already adopted the 1st edition of Anton's Calculus, and the school (and myself) have liked it so much that we have stuck with Anton for 20 years, until 2000. For some reason, the Math Department has decided to change to Stewart's book. Let me tell you, Anton's book is most certainly the best. The examples actually explain the concept, the concepts are explained coherently in words before the mathematics is presented, graphs are abundant where necessary, and the book eases students into Calculus. I have found that deficiencies in trigonometry plague students through the calculus sequence. Mr. Anton provides a thorough review in Appendix 1, which clears up the problems. Also, Chapter 1 is a review of Algebra and Coordinate Geometry. This gets students into a mental framework necessary to learn Limits (Chap 2), Differentiation (Chaps 3-4), Integration (Chaps 5-6), Logs and Exponential Functions (Chap7), etc. My ONLY complaint about this book is the way Anton leaves logs and the number e out until Chap 7. Students are expected to learn it all at once, where I feel it would be better distributed throughout the exercise sets. But, again, that is my ONLY complaint. IF YOU WANT YOUR STUDENTS TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN CALCULUS, CHOOSE THIS TEXT. It truly beats the pants off Stewart's book!

Summary: Excellent book
Comment: I'm learning Calculus with this book and I'm finding excellent!
My college changed Swokowski's book (it's out of print in Brazil!!!) by Anton's book. This book -together with Swokowski- is highly recommended for the beginners undergraduates. For me, Anton is very better Stewart's book -for instance-. Therefore, buy "Calculus a new horizont, 6th edition!
