 I used this book when I did my Undergraduate Premed Classes at the University of Miami.
This was a great book because it came with a CD that provides a visual way of teaching and introduction to Calculus. The CD's got modules; lots of test questions; and various games to assist you in the learning process. The book contains fundamental equations and formulas from algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and a table of integrals on the inside of the front & back covers. Answers to odd numbers are given. I recommend it to anyone reviewing Calculus or just beginning to learn Calculus! These new Calculus books are going for more than $140! Why buy it so expensive when you can get a older version that teaches the same thing and is inexpensive?

Typical Math Textbook
I feel sorry for the non-math inclined person who has to take an online Calculus course using this textbook. Math teachers rarely teach math the way the math textbook they use explains the topic. Typically a math teacher shows you how to solve problems then (sometimes) shows you why things work that way. This book, like typical math texts, gives a short written introduction to each topic then dives right into full-blown examples with the whys and hows all jumbled together. As a math person, this is workable for me as I can pull it all apart and reprocess it back together and I appreciate the in-depth analysis, but a non-math major could get lost very quickly.

 Calculus Book in good condition ( jlewis1917 )
The book is in very good condition, and it was only used for one semester.
