1.0 out of 5 stars Frustration Maxima, January 18, 2006
This text has simple examples that are only moderately easy to follow. The problems, on the other hand, are extremely difficult. There is no bridge between the two. The index is not particularly good. The explanations are obscure. The text spends too much time on theory that I suppose is interesting to mathematicians, but just gets in the way of learning about derivatives and integrals and their uses. I truly detest this book and find it a misery to deal with. My child's teacher was sick for the first half of the year, so I was thrust into the breach. I graduated from college magna cum laude with a Phi Beta Kappa key, I took Calculus and made an A (many years ago), I am a CPA with an MBA. My difficulties were not because I am dumb and not because I wasn't trying.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid book, but lack of explanations, April 9, 2005
By Y. Zhang (Waterloo, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
a very nice book if you are using it in a course, but not a good choice for self learning. The contents are solid but lack of explanations.

2.0 out of 5 stars Shows, doesn't tell., January 8, 2006
By T (NYC) - See all my reviews
If this were a novel, I'd love its exposition: all show, no tell. Sadly, this is a Calculus textbook that gives examples, but seems not to care about explaining the topic. If it just did a poor job with its explanations, that'd be one thing, but it seems to leave them out altogether at certain points, and at others, presents a concept via an example before the explanation.
