Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Striking a balance between concepts, modeling, and skills, this highly acclaimed book arms readers with an accessible introduction to calculus. It builds on the strengths from previous editions, presenting key concepts graphically, numerically, symbolically, and verbally. Guided by this innovative Rule of Four approach, the fourth edition examines new topics while providing readers with a strong conceptual understanding of the material.

They sent me the wrong book. When I told them of the problem, they asked me to send the incorrect book back to them, which I did, but they never got me the book I had originally requested.

This book was written to make the teachers job easier by providing large sets of problems and lots of questions. The real issue is that most schools, or students for that matter, do not have the time or resources to ask or answer the number of questions, mostly in the form of grey areas, which this book introduces.
So back to what everyone else is saying about this book. It's missing patient examples with fine grain explanations of how to apply sometimes convoluted steps in solving a problem. I don't feel the material sticks as well when my own theory of the material is the only supporting detail. I am sure the author thinks it's the teacher's sole responsibility to provide the details where they are not given in the book but this is back to paragraph A) of my review. I have learned many programming languages and material by reading books and apply what I learned in those books to real world problems or inferring a solution to a problem from what I learned out of the book. Learning and understanding key concepts is the very first step, then throw us into the water.
My best advice for students that are required to use this book is to find the tutor's solutions in PDF form, if you can. The tutor's solutions have the full solutions to ALL of the problems in the book (even odd) and the solutions are very well written. The solutions PDF has been the most valuable tool in cracking the enigma.

This book is more focused on applications than the two other calculus books I have used. However, it omits the trigonemetric functions secant, cosecant, and cotangent.

This book is not for learning, it does not have a single example how to solve problem, all it have is problems and answers, and that all

If I had to learn solely from this book, I would not know anything about calculus. This book is a great tool for professors to supplement their teachings, but not very good as a stand alone if you are trying to learn on your own. There are lots of examples throughout many of the chapters that skip crucial steps and of course the even problems are much harder than the odds which have answers in the back. I'm mostly glad that this book covers three semesters of math credit at my community college.
