Customer Reviews

Great examples, useful reference sheets

This book was required for my Calculus II course, and would also be used for Calc I (if I had taken it), as well as Calc III. So far, around 1/3 of the way through the semester, I have found the book to be very helpful. Whenever I had questions about some of the material, I found it was more useful to refer to the book, than my notes. There are 5 tear out reference sheets found in the front/back, which are great for referring back to. Unfortunately, since they are tear-out, this means that if you want them you'll have to buy the book new. It was worth it to me since there were also three classes that would use it. The formatting of the book is excellent, making it easy to see which points are key, and find formula's when you're simply skimming. I highly recommend this book. It loses the 1 star because the reference sheets are tear-out.

so helpful

it helps me to understand all the problems easily.....It is so easily done which can help students to do well in calculus.

ECET

This product was awesome when i received it. thanks. And the price was awesome too for it.

It was required

Well the book was required so it worked great for that... Since my professor explains the concepts rather well in class I do not need to learn anything from the book, so the conciseness is a benefit since I do not need to look through a lot of extra information for a concept I might have missed or forgotten from class.

book review

when I got the book, I realized this is an old version, actually, I need the newest edition for my college math class. Luckily, the questions and sections do not change much, so that I can still use it.
