Summary: A wise man and a foolish question
Comment: Reading some of the other reviews, I felt compelled to write. I used the third edition for all three courses in calculus I took at UMCP, and had Dr. Gulick for the second one. I would suggest that any terrapins who need to take the course do it with him, because he FOLLOWS THE TEXT EXACTLY. This means that you can actually skip an occasional class: if you do the reading and twice as many problems as assigned. But about the book...Honestly, I cannot see how anyone could fault it. I have seen physics, engineering, business, even French majors reading it with out difficulty. Now the problems, they can be tough. But complaining about them is like complaining the weights in the gym are heavy.Calculus, like any other skill, can only be acquired by effort, by doing. If you are willing to put a little in, you will get a lot out of this book. If you expect to sit back and subliminally absorb it, no text will be of much use to you.
Rating: 5
Summary: Wonderfully put together and presented.
Comment: I had the priviledge of having Dr. Ellis for two semesters of Calculus. He made alot of since in the lectures and this was reinforced as I read the book at home. It is possible to be taught a reasonable amount just from reading the text and doing the example problems. I would hate to see this book go out of print.

Summary: Made Mechanical Engineering Undergrad Program enjoyable
Comment: From 1987-1993 this book was the Calculus I,II & III textbook at Washington State University (WSU-Go Cougs). If I was able to solve every problem in the book and tutor others in Multivariable Calculus than I'm sure it was more my being well taught and less my skill in Mathematics. Yes Math was and still is one of my strongest subjects but having the Thomas Finney Calculus Edition 7 book alongside this textbook I will not hesitate to choose Robert Ellis & Denny Gulick for a much more thorough explaination of Theory with a broad variety of application that reinforce the theorems until one can do this stuff so well one can see the answer nearly as quick as one can simplify it down to its final result.
Thomas/Finney is an excellent addition and combined one should never be concerned with Differential Equations and Vector Analysis.
Its been 10 years and having switched to Computer Science I am now just getting back to applying Mechanical Engineering with CS and I can say I'm glad I had this background.
I didn't give the book 5 stars because no book on Mathematical Theory is Flawless.
