Title: Not recommended as an introduction to Calculus
Review: My primary objective is to transition high school and first-year college students from algebra/trigonometry/analytical geometry to calculus. My students are pretty sharp and don't appear to be troubled by limits if the concepts are explained and implemented with simple, cogent examples. I enjoyed "Calculus without Limits - almost" but was intrigued when none (zero) of my high school or first-year college calculus tutorial students found the book helpful. On the other hand if I hand them a copy of "Calculus Made Easy" by Silvanus P. Thompson or "Teach Yourself Calculus" by Hugh Neil they zoom right along with limits, differentials, derivatives, and so on. My one-star recommendation is therefore based upon its poor performance as an educational tool for my advanced high school and first-year college calculus students.
