Summary: Not enough examples and hard to learn from.
Comment: This Calculus text does not give enough solved examples and is quite difficult for the student to learn from. The answers to the problems for each chapter are not all in the back of the book. Usually math texts print the answers to the odd problems, this book prints only a few of the odd numbered answers, and then they try to sell you a separate student answer book. This text is also way overpriced for a paperback.

Summary: You'll Love It or Hate It.
Comment: In my experience with this text, students either love it or hate it. They hate it because it does not offer a brief overview of the topics, like many more popular calculus text books. Instead "Calculus: Single Variable" requires that a student throughly read many examples as it explains rules and laws along the way. Those who love the text do so because the examples offer a firmer understanding of the concepts at hand, instead of just covering enough material to answer the questions at the end of each section. Although this is a very good text book, it definitely requires patience on behalf of the reader, and may not be the book for students who just want to slide by.

Summary: Not a very good text.
Comment: I used this book for a one-semester course and I did not gain a very good learning experience from it. The exercises did not coordinate with the examples and concepts that were presented. I had to use Anton's book to supplement this book. I feel that if I did not go to a different text I would not have gotten above a B in the course. I recommend buying Anton's 5th edition (it is out of print, but available from Amazon) or Stewart's text. Judging from how the book dealt with the material from Calc I, I can only assume that the rest of the material is as bad.
