Negative Positive
Title: Not a very good text.
Review: I used this book for a one-semester course and I did not gain a very good learning experience from it. The exercises did not coordinate with the examples and concepts that were presented. I had to use Anton's book to supplement this book. I feel that if I did not go to a different text I would not have gotten above a B in the course. I recommend buying Anton's 5th edition (it is out of print, but available from Amazon) or Stewart's text. Judging from how the book dealt with the material from Calc I, I can only assume that the rest of the material is as bad.
Is the review positive or negative?
