Calculus: Early Transcendentals (Stewart's Calculus Series)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-03 Summary: a good textbook ... I taught many semesters of calculus out of this book. The kids who come to class and do their homework seem to like the book. I checked to see which books California universities used in their standard calculus classes. Half of the UCs use a Stewart text. Over 70% of the CSUs use a Stewart text. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-02-23 Summary: Overall Decent Calculus Book ... The obvious: this book is long, bulky and expensive. However, there is the option of buying it used, and if you don't intend to do all three courses of calculus (or you spend a lot of time carrying your books around), it may make sense to buy the book in parts -- it's also sold in Calc 1/Calc 2/Multivariable sections. As for the content, the text is nothing spectacular: while Stewart manages to nail some things, presenting them clearly and succinctly, there are also many long useless passages. My advice: don't try ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-02-17 Summary: Near Excellent. ... Outside a little more beaten up than expected, inside written in when seller said it was new. Other than that, great book, delivered when expected. ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-02-11 Summary: Definitely Used ... This product was used more than once. I'm just glad I received a refund for my return. Not buying from college books direct again. ...more

Calculus (Stewart's Calculus Series)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-03-10 Summary: Calculus Studied The Right Way ... This book is great to teach and to learn from. This book can save you money at some schools as this edition of the book can cover Calculus I, II, and III; you could end up spending over $300 if you buy the two volume edition of the book. This book does great job explaining most lessons and concepts. The examples are detailed and the proofs are sometimes done in two different ways that will make you more interested in the math than you probably did before. What I also like about this book is how all the sections seems ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-17 Summary: Calculus Book Review ... The book came between the specified dates and was in great condition. I was very pleased with the book. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-28 Summary: The Whole Truth ... How this book is rated depends on one factor: Do you want to learn calculus? If you do, then this book is excellent. Read each section twice while carefully thinking about what is going on. I will say that a small percentage of the exercises are difficult, not because the concepts are difficult, but because it can be hard to know how to set the problem up and because students forget trigonometry or algebra. Find the Instructor Solutions Manual and use these harder exercises and all the project questions to enhance ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-12-05 Summary: Probably the best Undergrad Calculus Text ... I had this book for Calculus I, II, and III. It does a decent job at explaining everything and there are some good exercises in the book. If you actually read through the chapters, you will find yourself picking things up easier, and there are great examples in the reading. This is probably as good as you are going to get in a Undergraduate Calculus text. I find myself going back to it every now and again to refresh my knowledge. ...more

Calculus Made Easy
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-14 Summary: good book ... Just a quick review. This book can really explain things easier than what my text book does. Though some pages of the book are cut off a bit but not really a big problem. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-11-01 Summary: Clear and succinct, but not easy ... I like math and am a B or B-plus in aptitude; I think I am this book's audience. For me, it has been excellent, but for someone who struggles with math, it might not be as good. The book keeps the new ideas of calculus short and simple (in particular by leaving out the idea of a limit). But it does expect you to be clever with the algebra you already know. The problems ask you to extend what was discussed, not merely to repeat it. As Gardner says, traditional calculus textbooks must include every possible topic, so ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-10-30 Summary: Highly recommend 'Calculus Made Easy' for learning on your own ... Hello! Silvanus Thompson wrote an excellent book. I can see why this is a classic. He does a really good job of explaining calculus in a language that is both simple and understandable. However, I do have an issue with this edition. It is in deplorable shape concerning the format of the text -- pages are out of order, words are missing, and sometimes the text encroaches on the inner margin so far that it is hard to read (you have to open the book really wide). Overall, I give Silvanus Thompson an 'A+' for making a ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-10-11 Summary: How does this follow? ... I love this book, at least up to the bottom of page 23 (I just purchased the second edition from Amazon). There are two equations at the bottom of the page. Let's call them equation 1 and equation 2. Equation 2, the one at the bottom of the page, is supposed to be a restatement of equation 1. I cannot figure out how the author gets from 1 to 2. It seems to me that equation 2 should read [(x)e-2][(1+2dx/x)e-1].Can anyone help me with this? Thanks, Phil M. ...more

Be Prepared for the AP Calculus Exam
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-03-22 Summary: Good compact review, but weak on practice problems with fully-worked solutions ... This book focuses on the subset of first year calculus topics needed for the AP exams, and it provides comprehensive coverage of those topics. It also includes an Appendix on the use of TI calculator models 83, 84, 86, and 89. A graphing calculator (only certain models are allowed) is now required for the AP Calculus exams. Compared to other preparation texts covering similar AP calculus topics, this book is relatively short, running less than 400 pages. This brevity is achieved primarily in two ways, one is by providing ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-05-17 Summary: Excellent!! ... This is an excellent resource for teachers and students to use throughout an AP Calculus course. Well-written, free from error, and well-priced! Invaluable. ...more

The practice exams are also extrmely accurate and helpful to get a 5 on the exam. ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-06-14 Summary: One of the best study guides for AP Calculus ... Let me preface this by saying that I took the AP calculus test in the mid 1980's and now have helped my daughter with a self-study course on calculus in preparation for the 2007 test. After going through a total of 4 study guides, 2 textbooks, and the last 7 years of available free response questions from the actual AP test, I found this guide to be one of the best AP calculus preparation books. The AP calculus (AB or BC) has become considerably harder in the last 4 years. Most other books seem to have been developed ...more
