Review title: Terrible Textbook
Product review: While I understand it is difficult to write an advanced math textbook without weird notation, this textbook seems to be written for PhD's who already know calculus. The examples in the chapters aren't always that good. The practice problems give very little practice. As one problem is completed successfully and you move on, the next problem has a little twist to it that isn't covered in the text. The student is left on his own to figure out how to negotiate the twist and solve the problem. You never feel like you've really practiced because you rarely get more than two or three basic problems solved. I believe it is a classic example of college textbook scam of using a new edition each year that adds a lot to some professor's wallet and little to the progress of the student.
