Calculus of a Single Variable Review

This book was the required text for my two semesters of calculus I had to slough through this past spring and summer. The first semester of calculus would be pretty rough for someone trying to learn it on your own because at times its the concepts that are a little challenging to understand rather than how to do the work. More than likely, some of the material can be confusing without the aid of a teacher or tutor but most chapters you can work independently through without any real problems at all (except the problems themselves, maybe). It will not really take you by the hand and show you all of the little algebra steps in the examples, however. That is YOUR own fault if you don't know what's going on. Do not be expected to be put in a stroller and wheeled around in the land of calculus when you should be walking tall with all the skills you acquired from algebra and trigonometry. As far as the writing goes, it is very well written to get across to most students what exactly you are trying to figure out with application problems included, the normal drill problems, and challenge problems (Putnam problems included). If you're good with algebra and trig, this whole first semester of calculus should be a cake walk for you in terms of difficulty. It is basically recalling all your old knowledge and applying them to new concepts involving basic differentiation and integration. This book I believe has aptly satisfied me with enough of a challenge as well as clarity in figuring out just what I need to know. For the students still having problems, they do have a solutions manual which got me through Calculus II like no other. Any time I was confused I would go through that book. A tip though is that if you're okay with it you should make annotations. I started doing that in calculus II because I was taking a summer course and imagine having to master the whole integration techniques chapter in 3 days. Was a nightmare. The solutions are usually well laid out and easy to follow but sometimes the steps you see there you can get stuck on if you don't know your algebra like second nature. I'd sit there and make notes on the little steps of what they did or would do to simplify their answers. It helps! Anyway, this book will get you through Calc I and Calc II is where this book really shines.
