Calculus Gilbert Strang

Reviewed in the United States on 26 October 2012

I found the book very comprehensive but a little more hard to understand than I expected because of my current level of mathematical knowledge and skills. Plan to pick it up after I do a bit more preparation. A very good book in very good condition inside. The back spine cover was broken loose but a little Elmers Glue and the book is just like new. A great value for any serious student of calculus.

Nicely written , numerous examples and exercises. Calculus seen from many different viewpoints. Links calculus to algebra in a very understandable way (focuses on understanding and examples first). It is always exciting to read a book written by someone who loves what he does

The Best Calculus book . Is very difficult but is The essence of The Mathematics . I like a lot of The Proofs and all The material covered better than Khan Academy and UPR Mayaguez Mediocre Mathematics Professor.
