Great Service for Calculus

Book arrived in excellent condition as promised. I had a little trouble as book was orginally returned to sender and it had to be resent to me. Great service getting it back to me promptly-very much appreicated as classes were starting! Would use this seller again.

lial calc

the book arrived in good time and fine condition The text is greatfor self instruction.

everything as promised!

I waited until the last minute to buy my textbooks but the extra shipping option got the book to me on time in excellent condition. I'll definitely be back next semester!

Incredibly Suprised.

This book was required for a course I took in real-number (non-trig) Calculus. Now, my philosophy about math, is that no teacher can teach you math. It's the only subject that you really MUST learn on your own. This book makes this work simple. The problems and examples are usually of similar difficulty and anyone with a good background in basic college algebra should be able to fly through this thing. It made me become unafraid of calculus enough that I bought more advanced texts and began to teach myself out of those too. For awakening a love for math I never knew I had, I have to give this book 5 stars. As for complaints, I have none. The book is organized incredibly well, and if you're rusty in college algebra, the 7 section review pulls you online with everything you'll need to know for the rest of the book. The applied examples are varied and don't go out into left field from the pure problems; they don't expect you to put together something in a way you haven't seen before.

My friend and teacher.

Man, I have no idea where to begin. So let me start of by stating my mathematical background before I picked up this book. Before I picked up this book, I was fairly good with algebra but not very good at pre-calculus because all I knew about pre-calculus was that there are parabolas, but I knew very small trigonometry, statistics, series, and some other parts of pre-calculus. Anyway, so here I am in my last year of high school, a very terrible high school, with very small knowledge of mathematics, and I really want to see what the big fuss was with Calculus. So I decided to find some books on Calculus. My first three books on Calculus were very hard to follow along with. They were all textbooks, and one of them I bought. So I decided to sacrifice my $150.00 and buy this book from www.aw.com. When I first picked up this book, I had a hard time following along with the pre-calculus material, so I skipped them. I went into Limits and beyond. I understood every thing to my surprise, but when I got to the parts with Logs and Calculus, I went back to the pre-calculus section, and to my surprise, I understood it this time. Therefore, this book opened my mind. It allowed me to understand things I could not before by explaining the complicated subjects in a very easy to follow matter. I am in my first year of college taking Calculus I and I passed every test with a 50/50 except for one that I missed because of a negative sign, finding the equation of the tangent line to a given function. Anyway, I would recommend this book very much to anyone who wants to learn Calculus. I am very proud of what I got out of this book. This book in fact, made me a calculus teacher in a small way because I now tutor kids who are struggling with Calculus. P.S. This book is teaches material equivalent to Calculus III.
