This textbook is thoughtfully organized to help students of calculus grasp the finer details of the material. Though it is a math textbook, the language contained within avoids overly complex jargon to cover the material. The author introduces and explains the material in a very straightforward manner that is easy to comprehend. The layout of the material not only receives kudos for its visual appeal, but it also directs the reader's attention to content of importance (theorems, definitions, etc.).The examples in the book were helpful in explaining the material presented. Their solutions were thorough and adequately addressed the relevant topics discussed. Included with each section are numerous practice problems of variable difficulty that tests the student's understanding of the material just presented. The fourth edition has an expanded table of integrals on the back cover to include a greater number of symbolic integral solutions compared with previous versions of the text. A generous appendix contains review materials for mathematical concepts introduced in courses prior to calculus. All in all, I highly recommend this text for all calculus students and professors for its elegant yet simple approach to calculus.
