Probably I did not read the description of this book carefully, that is why not what I expected. Anyway, the transaction was very pleasant!!!
Well written for the beginner

This book is great for the person new to Calculus as I was at the time I went through an earlier version. The examples are well written, with the steps easy to follow. Interim steps to the result are not skipped as has been the case with other Calculus books I've read. The book begins very simply, so someone with just algebra can follow. I can not overstate the importance of working through the problems though, that was the only way I came to appreciate Calculus. What I liked most about this book was that it had alot of applications to real life, using economic, business and science examples. I learn best when I can apply the information directly to my work, and this text did a good job of allowing me to do that.
