Title: for those trying to understand calculus, BURN THIS BOOK!!
Review: I am a serious, 4.0 GPA student majoring in civil engineering. My theory is your class is only as easy as your . If the instructor has communication problems, you turn to your text. But what if your text really, really sucks too??This book has extremely inadequate examples, and they cover only 20% of what they end up giving as homework problems. You simply cannot turn back the page to the explanatory section to see how that particular type of problem is solved. Please, DO NOT purchase this book. I aced trig and pre-cal...both the texts and the teachers were perfect. But I have had to drop my first calculus class because of this bad teacher-text combo.There are better books out there. Stay away from this one.
