Summary: Consistent Textbook
Comment: This text is much more clear than Thomas's Calculus, because of examples that take you through the important steps of the problems. Sometimes a step will be left out in the example, but usually it's something from trig or pre-calc. The use of graphics in the examples are very helpful as well; the important theorems are boxed/highlighted, as are useful tips to solving the problems.

The exercise problems at the end of each section are never huge surprises. As for their difficulty, they tend to start out easy and end with the more challenging word problems. When I was confused or frustrated, it helped to go back and re-read the examples. The Thomas text's examples were extremely difficult (for us non-MIT math students) and unrelated/inconsistent with the exercises.

I'd say that this book made calculus less scary and much more managable. I still had to study really hard to ace the class, but at least it wasn't because the book was overly confusing.

Summary: Best of All
Comment: I saw many calculus books but this one is the best although the price is ridiculus (Even a used one is like 100 bucks). This book has a nice set of problems starting from easy ones and going to more complex. The examples are clearly stated and easy to understand. The thing I liked best about this book is that at the beginning of each chapter, there is a page describing the real world application of the concepts to be studied in the chapter. This makes it interesting to do the problems as we are relating those to real life situations.
Overall this book will be fun to learn.

Summary: Good but problems were too easy
Comment: Not bad at all! I found the book's explanations pretty easy to understand.

The CD I really did not use. Some of you probably got more use out of it. But the text and diagrams are well enough done that I found the CD unnecessary.

The only criticism is that perhaps some of the problems could have been harder/more challenging.
