A revision of McGraw-Hill's leading calculus text for the 3-semester sequence taken primarily by math, engineering, and science majors. The revision is substantial and has been influenced by students, instructors in physics, engineering, and mathematics, and participants in the national debate on the future of calculus. Revision focused on these key areas: Upgrading graphics and design, expanding range of problem sets, increasing motivation, strengthening...
This book is literally the best basic calculus text you can possibly get. Anyone wanting to start learning calculus NOW should get this. No real previous mathematical knowledge is necessary. There are several appendices on algebra and series etc. The book discusses trigonometry, so you can learn the book practically without knowing a thing. The "feeling" of the book is inexplicable. Reading this book really gave me an...

This book is the best place to start to learn calculus. It starts from very basic principles and also contains some more advanced stuff like Stokes Theorem etc. Some readers may find that the book contains too many basic trivial explanations, but I see this as a strength. When you start learning calculus, I think it is a good idea to explain even the trivial, to make sure that you have a good understanding of really everything...

I used this book for three semesters and found it to be nothing less than excellent. Thorough demonstrated examples and tons of practice exercises allows the student to develop a comprehensive foundation in calculus. This book is my math Bible. I find it so valuable, I have kept to this day and still reference it when needed. A must for any serious math student.

The authors have written a superb text. New material is introduced intuitively and graphically and then the proofs are given. It makes math fun. This book is the best introduction to calculus that I have read. The clearity of exposition, the natural transitions from easier to more difficult material is seamless. A real joy to see math taught so well. The layout of the book is thoughtfully designed, especially important...

This is a great book. i learnt a subject like calculus using this book as a self-study guide and ENJOYED it. the solved examples are simple so that you get the concepts rather than getting lost in the detail. the style of writing is informal. however this book gives you all the proofs and other things if you want the rigrous treatment. has plenty of exercises and problems to solve and it tends to concentrate on the essentials...
