A Calculus Student's Recollections

My teacher for Calculus II happened to be Stan Wagon (one of the contributors), so perhaps I am a bit biased- but, I thought that this book was an excellent introduction to both Mathematica and the foundations of advanced calculus; however, it is definitely not for everybody (advanced students would be teribly bored- this is my reason for not giving it the full five stars). "Animating Calculus" is defintely a worthy investment for beginning/intermediate calculus students who work with Mathematica as their CAS system.
