Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I agree with the previous reviewer that this is not a book for people who are looking for a gentle introduction to calculus. But for those who are looking for a sturdy reference that will give the proofs for the most common theorems used in calculus, this is a great book.
It has rigorous proofs, an excellent set of appendices for reviewing trigonometry and common identities, and a well chosen problem set.
I run a blog that is focused on complete mathematical proofs (http://fermatslasttheorem.blogspot.com), whenever one of my blog topics touches on calculus, this is the book that I go to.
Buy another book for the gentle introduction but if you want to understand the proofs that make up calculus, buy this book.
