I thought the book explained each topic in an easy to follow manner. There are some challenging excercises at the end of each section. Some of the exercises stumped me, but I guess that's good if you're looking to be challenged. I bought the solutions manual which gives step by step solutions to the odd questions. The book doesn't cover every area of calculus, but I found it useful when I didn't understand what we covered in class.

This book is a very good book for people going into business. It gives a very brief view of Calculus, and the applications of math. The book has a very clear writing style that explains the concepts of the subjects covered in a clear manner which is not often found in math text books.

This book is excellent it helped me a LOt. I wold have failed if it was not for this life saving book. The answers where clear and concise. This book shows step by step how to work each problem!!

I only wish it had a calculator explaination for the problems.

We used this text book in an NYU continuing education program. The course was designed as a refresher course for potential MBA applicants. I was taking it because we truly use calculus in the analytics of our systems at work.

This is a great text book. The illustrations are terrific. The problem sets are very good as they truly use real-world problems and examples. The instruction is crisp, without excessive theoretical wanderings.

One of the best scientific and engineering texts I have used.

CON: The enclosed CD ROM does not work with the Mac OSX operating system, and although I contacted customer support, they did not have plans to make the software OSX compatible. :-(

Only got this for class. It is hour average textbook. It explains things okay, but at the end of the day, it is just another textbook.

This solutions book only goes through chapter 8 and the actual text has 12 chapters. I found that the answers were explained fairly well but I was very disappointed that it was missing several chapters and was probably not worth the money.

It was fine. Just a textbook that I needed for class, so I'm not madly in love with it or anything. The quality was good, and the item shipped really fast. Thats about it.

Unfortunately the paperback is not a a paperback edition of the textbook, but the student's solution manual.

this transaction was excellent, since the day i bought it. it was fast and in excellent condition. i recomend this seller to anyone
