3.0 out of 5 stars overall, pretty good book, December 29, 2002

nimbus1488 (cleveland, oh) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Multivariable Calculus with Analytic Geometry (5th Edition) (Paperback)
The book did have some irritating mistakes in the back (no more than the average math book), but I give it a thumbs up for being pretty clear and readable throughout. Some problems I had using the book though are:

-it doesn't provide adequate examples, too few and not on the same level as the problems
-towards the end, it loses some coherence by splitting up related ideas into many formulas and notations.

Overall word, the book teaches pretty well, but a good teacher is really needed to wade through some of the book.
