Summary: OK Textbook, I Guess
Comment: We used this book in the Calculus I class I just finished. My teacher was great, so I have an A or A- in the class (grades aren't in yet), but it was no thanks at all to this textbook. Whenever I got stuck on a problem, I would try to go back to the chapter for some guidence, but, well, there isn't any. I am very good at math, and I had a hard time following what they were doing in the examples. There were more than a couple of problem formats at the end of the chapter that weren't really explained at all in the text. I guess if your teacher only uses the book for the end of chapter exercises, it is good, but we still had to go over a lot of them in class because, like I said, the book didn't explain how to do some of them and we were all lost.

Summary: Reference Book - Not For Learning
Comment: This text is written for mathematicians, by mathematicians. It works well as a refresher for those who already know the material and need to brush up. The descriptions are written with absolutely no outside perspective. Analogies are not used.
The solutions manual often skips multiple steps, such as how a partial fraction was obtained, or a special limit property used in the process of finding a solution.
Do not attempt to learn Calculus from this book. It will only discourage new students from learning higher levels of mathematics.

Editorial Review for Calculus (With Analytic Geometry)(8th edition):
Designed for the three-semester calculus course for math and science majors, Calculus continues to offer instructors and students new and innovative teaching and learning resources. This was the first calculus text to use computer-generated graphics, to include exercises involving the use of computers and graphing calculators, to be available in an interactive CD-ROM format, to be offered as a complete, online calculus course, and to offer a two-semester Calculus I with Precalculus text. Every edition of the series has made the mastery of traditional calculus skills a priority, while embracing the best features of new technology and, when appropriate, calculus reform ideas. Now, the Eighth Edition is the first calculus program to offer algorithmic homework and testing created in Maple so that answers can be evaluated with complete mathematical accuracy. Two primary objectives guided the authors in writing this book: to develop precise, readable materials for students that clearly define and demonstrate concepts and rules of calculus and to design comprehensive teaching resources for instructors that employ proven pedagogical techniques and saves the instructor time. The Eighth Edition continues to provide an evolving range of conceptual, technological, and creative tools that enable instructors to teach the way they want to teach and students to learn they way they learn best.
