Calculus: Single Variable

O. K.

basically the same as the newer 5th edition, I confirmed. would recommend. reason for missing star: condition of book was quite worn. I would have liked a better copy, but I bought one of the last remaining.

For some reason this was the book that was used in my university classes. Calculus is a very interesting subject and this book manages to make students hate it. I always thought this book was terrible, and when I saw its ratings and reviews here on Amazon I learned that this is a common opinion. This book will frustrate you if you are trying to teach yourself calculus. It gives you problems in the exercise sections that must be solved using methods that aren't even taught in the book. The presentation is boring and left me with myriad questions unanswered. Returning to calculus outside of college I've found that without a professor to clarify things I am completely helpless with this book. If you want a good calculus book, get Calculus: An Intuitive and Physical Approach by Morris Kline. Only when I started reading Kline's excellent book did I realize just how poorly written is the above. University teachers, PLEASE stop making your students use this book and give them Kline instead. They will love calculus, and they'll actually understand it, even without your help.

After I ordered the book, I had to contact with her in regard to the change of my address where the book needed to be sent to. She got back with me right away and sent it to the address that I asked her. Also she sent me a student solution manual book free of charge along with the book. I'm really satisfied with her service. Thank you, Angela!

I was very happy to find this item priced so reasonably. My search for a NEW book started at $150.00. I ended up paying less than 10 bucks for it. Very satisfied.
