Review # 1 was written on 2017-12-21 00:00:00 Kenneth Chisholm I first read this as a student and I still have a copy. It starts out as a good introduction. You would need to understand algebra and trigonometry, at high school level. But it explains all the basic concepts of calculus, especially differentiation, and its inverse operation: integration. It also says a lot about Taylor series. Later, it moves on to advanced topics, such as vector calculus. The author explains all topics very clearly, and makes it seem quite easy.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-05-13 00:00:00 YVETTE SHANK The questions in this textbook were fine and suitable, as they helped develop a solid understanding of the concepts presented - but good God the verbal explanations in this textbook are terrible. The style of writing is beyond convoluted and the explanations for proofs, equations, and so on are just awful. If all you want to do is solve mathematical questions then this textbook is fine, but if you're looking to teach yourself mathematics then I would not recommend this book at all. 2.5/5
