5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book for Self Study, September 17, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Calculus (Hardcover)
I am using this book in a correspondence course. I have never had calculus before and I can only communicate with my instructor by mail. This means that I have to rely primarily on the textbook for explanations. I was worried about taking the course because I have had trouble with math in the past. However, this book is so well written that I have had very few problems. When I have had troubles, I can usually get them answered by going to the Internet site that accompanies the book. A couple times, I even wrote to the author and both times he wrote back to me with answers to my questions. I recommend this book to any student who is afraid of taking a calculus course.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Conceived, September 8, 1999
By A Customer
This text is the basis for a 3-semester course in Calculus I'm halfway through, and I've found it to be exemplary. Yes, the ink smudges a bit, but hell, if anyone sees it they'll think you're quite the diligent student, thumbing the calc book as most people would Time magazine or something. So much the better! Also, the binding (see below for critique) is in like-new condition, despite the fact that I ride a motorcycle, and carry the poor thing in a backpack 10 hours a day. (My back's never been stronger!) Finally, as an afterthought, content: Everything is laid out according to a logical progression that takes pains not to overwhelm, and instruction is offered both heuristically and theoretically, with samples reflecting (for the most part) what's to come in the exercises section that follows each chapter. A good prof. is still requisite, though. My only gripe is the problem solutions guide. Too few exercises even appear in this, and those that do are often the simpler ones I had no problem with! Also, the poor bastard that had to construct the thing understandably skips some steps here and there. But he was getting paid for his toil, and should've done it right! In fact, I came to this site looking for the instructor's version of the solutions guide, but can't find it. But I digress...I must return to my calculus before I find myself thinking lucidly again...

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad calculus book. Period., December 8, 1999
By Jeremy L. Carr (Pensacola, FL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I taught calculus from this textbook for 2 terms and I was very glad when we dropped Larson and started using another book. The only good things about the book are some of the exercises. But the explanations are not clear and the material is not well organized. I wouldn't want to learn calculus from Larson and I don't ever want to teach from Larson again.

For those planning to go on to more advanced courses, Larson is lacking in the necessary rigor to prepare you for advanced calculus and linear algebra.

Clear and concise with many examples. Compared to other Calc books I've had to suffer through, Larson writes his book with the student in mind. Very user friendly.
