Isn't really a textbook,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: University Calculus (Hardcover)
This "textbook" shouldn't rightly be called so. I was required to buy this for my calculus class as well as my vector geometry class, but it should really be labeled a problem set booklet. There's no instruction, the examples are often way off from the problems with little to no correlation, and the problems which do correlate to the very limited examples often take the basic theory and twist them into extremely difficult equations which require rules not given or mentioned. Expect to see your professor for office hours a lot if you are required to use this book.

Worst Calculus book ever!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: University Calculus (Hardcover)
I had to use this book for my classes and had to refer to another book [Calculus: Early Transcendentals] that explained so much better to understand the material. Even my math instructors hated this book and would not pick this book to teach but had no choice! In this book, there is hardly any explanation to help with the homework or even where the stuff came from. I feel so cheated and get really bittered whenever I have to crack open the lousy book or even look at it! I always keep my text books for reference; however, this is THE one book I would not hesistate to sell or even recycle.
2.0 out of 5 stars
Came as Expected, but not a great book,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: University Calculus (Hardcover)
Had to get this book for college calculus class. There are plenty of good practice problems, but its explanations are absolutely useless, I had to buy Calculus for Dummies just to understand the subject.
