Calculus in itself is a complex subject. The textbook gives examples and if you really read into the examples you will understand. I am no math expert and I was able to succeed with this book. The last few chapters are the toughest and the explanations are a bit hazy in these sections. But all in all it is isnt bad at explaining how to do calculus.

3.0 out of 5 stars Explanations too brief, no good solutions manual, February 4, 2008

The explanations are far to dense with too few explanations. I am a pretty good studier but every section quiz left me scrambling bac to the text part to figure out how we were to work out the problem. The bood would do well with more examples, discussions of tricks used to solve problems, etc.

Desperately needs a good solutions manual. The one that is on the market is only a smattering of problems, little discussion of the problems, and not updated to current edition.
