100 Year Old Book is Still Relevant
A hundred year old book addresses problems that today's students still experience. The material is presented in a accessible fashion. It is a great reference for students who are stuck particular problem . But is pretty much targeted to Calculus I.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Very well written and easy to understand
Great book in very nice condition. It's been a big help in brushing up on my calculus class that I took over 40 years ago.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Really Dated using antiquated calculus methods by now-a-day's standards
This book is real dated, of course. It was originally written in the 40s and hasn't changed much since then. There is no possible chance it speaks of modern things such as using a TI-84 Plus Graphing Calculator to do calculus (or even a calculator of any sort because they were using slide rules back then). I really thought it was going to be more helpful. After all, it says, "Made Easy". It's nearly as boring as any other calculus book with just as few real-world examples. It comes up with a couple definitions which help to understand what calculus really is. But, "Made Easy"? Nope. For a beginner? Wouldn't recommend it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
