this transaction was excellent, since the day i bought it. it was fast and in excellent condition. i recomend this seller to anyone

This book is a very good book for people going into business. It gives a very brief view of Calculus, and the applications of math. The book has a very clear writing style that explains the concepts of the subjects covered in a clear manner which is not often found in math text books.

This book is excellent it helped me a LOt. I wold have failed if it was not for this life saving book. The answers where clear and concise. This book shows step by step how to work each problem!! I only wish it had a calculator explaination for the problems.

We used this text book in an NYU continuing education program. The course was designed as a refresher course for potential MBA applicants. I was taking it because we truly use calculus in the analytics of our systems at work. This is a great text book. The illustrations are terrific. The problem sets are very good as they truly use real-world problems and examples. The instruction is crisp, without excessive theoretical wanderings. One of the best scientific and engineering texts I have used. CON: The enclosed CD ROM does not work with the Mac OSX operating system, and although I contacted customer support, they did not have plans to make the software OSX compatible. :-(

I thought the book explained each topic in an easy to follow manner. There are some challenging excercises at the end of each section. Some of the exercises stumped me, but I guess that's good if you're looking to be challenged. I bought the solutions manual which gives step by step solutions to the odd questions. The book doesn't cover every area of calculus, but I found it useful when I didn't understand what we covered in class.
