Reviews

This book, the fourth in the "Master Math" series, describes every major topic in the calculus, from functions through vector integral theorems, in a terse, no-nonsense manner, but the amateurish format is disappointing. Despite the availability of word-processing software that can do an excellent job on mathematical expressions, many of the formulae in this book are badly printed. Students accustomed to the new computerized graphics in most textbooks will find the diagrams and graphs rudimentary and unappealing. The text contains little in the way of motivation, few interesting examples, and no exercises. In the end, it feels more like the outline of a calculus text than an instructional book on the subject, and the student or practitioner who wants one would probably be better served (and save money) by picking up a used copy of any popular calculus textbook. Not recommended.?Harold D. Shane, Baruch Coll., CUNY
