I'm in my 50's and studying calc on my own (again). I already studied it back in college and got good grades. So far I like the book because it also has application of calculus (which my calc book back in college didn't have)

I love the fact that it has an index where you can review things you mightve forgotten about, like trig and logs and even some algebra. Theyre even nice enough to include practice problems with odd answers to them which is just awesome. The material is very easy to follow and the cd included is great if your stuck..however I did have to look for osme outside help for a few choice problems. Having the same text for calc 1 and 2 is just abonus, because who wants to buy another $100 + book..seriosuly.
This Book is the book that contains calc 1 2 and 3 for Arizona State University at least. The difference between this book and some of the others like it is that it does have all the chapters in it. Some of the books only have chapter 1-12 and stop before getting into 3d vector calc. There is also another book that covers chapters 12-17 which is for calc 3. This book has all 1-17 chapters for a full three semesters worth of reading.
This book does a very good job at making you understand each section. My teacher is horrible so i've relied on teaching myself everything from the book. The author did a terrific job at giving you detailed explanations and easy to understand. Of course you have to know at least pre-calculus to understand certain terms but you can definitely mangage.
WARNING: Book contains advanced and complex Mathematical problems and teaches skill sets necessary to solve them which may lead to symptoms such as headache, anxiety, insomnia, and irritability.
