1.0 out of 5 stars Increased confusion, March 15, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Calculus Analytic Geometry (Hardcover)

If ever there was a way to make Calculus more complicated...this book has found it. The pages are predominantly crowded and distracting. Explanations and examples are very difficult to follow. Outlines of solutions are so brief as to be virtually useless. It seems as if he couldn't make up his mind about whether or not to make this a textbook or a study guide. I pity those who have no choice but to use this text.

1.0 out of 5 stars I was unlucky enough to HAVE to use this book, February 9, 2004

This review is from: Calculus Analytic Geometry (Hardcover)

I agree completely with the previous review. I was unfortunate enough to have taken a class taught by Shenk himself with his own text book - always an ethically questionable situation anyways. Shenk has a talent for making Calculus very mysterious and confusing. Perhaps he is just that much more intelligent than the rest of us, but in any case, this book a less than ideal tool for learning calculus.
