Excellent text book. Used this to teach AP Calc BC

Uses applications in science and engineering to demonstrate the concepts learned. The text has little biographies of people that did mathematical things strewn throughout and multiple worked examples. The book uses lots of computer-generated graphics and other things. I would say it is an excellent reference as well since it has tables of derivatives and integrals in the book along with answers to odd-numbered exercises.
This particular text covers topics ranging from beginning limits to vector calculus. So it obviously builds on what was learned. Just in case you never had it, it also covers some Precalculus in the very beginning of the book. The text also contains little projects that people can do to demonstrate the ideas taught.
I got this book for College so I can't remember the last time I cracked it open. In any case, I guess it is good that I didn't get rid of it. The only real problem is that the book seems to be a bit 'busy' if you will forgive the expression. With all of the little images and biographies and pictures it sometimes gets distracting.

Wonderful book. It explains the concepts quite well, and it gives proofs for most theorems and rules. My one problem with this book is that in the applications, it uses imperial units rather than metric.

great to practice with his lectures but it's much drier than other calculus books

It cost me $90, I better like it.

Limits are definitely an allegory for other things. :) Fantastic Math
