Calculus Review
This book is totally sufficient. I've read a couple reviews that say stuff like 'needs adequate examples to cover problems people will potentially be seeing in the problem sections...'
I had this book in college & I'm a workaholic. If you assign me 10 homework problems, I'll do 50 & then I'll do them again to make sure I really understood them.
There were very few times where there was a problem that couldn't be done. I'm not a 'brain' and the only reason I get good grades in math is due to work ethic, not special talent. If you do the problems in order, you shouldn't have a problem with understanding the questions. The sections are designed to step your level up as you're going through the problems. The theory questions may throw you but thats normal & there are too few of those to trip you up any way. This book isn't for the theory, its for Calc I, Calc II or Calc III which has very little theory in the syllabus. There's a seperate course for theory & it will give you its own headaches b/c when you have questions about why things were proved in certain ways, your teacher will have no clue but they still try to give a BS answer to trick you into thinking they do (they restate the definition/proof the way gradeschooler rewrites an Encyclopedia page for a report. They don't realize that students would respect them more if they just say 'I really don't know but if you understand the proof for what it is rather than how it came to be, you'll get through the section fine.' Which is how honest one of my teachers was at the beginning of a class I had in theory.).

Kindle Version: Not Ready for Prime Time! - Bruce K. Vines - Florissant, MO, US
I bought the Kindle version of this book because I need a calculus reference to take with me and I don't want to carry another really big book. I have to say that having a text like this in my Kindle is a wonderful thing. I've seen some negative comments about the material in this book. Frankly, I find it to be a very understandable text. I like the author's presentation. So why one star? The formatting of the Kindle version. Wow! I'm reading through the first chapter and there are literally dozens of places where you have a variable name, such as x or y, that is joined to the next word (ex: For the function fdefined...are used instead of x.To evaluate...function was fi rst, etc) On one page the word "nonverticallines" appears twice. Here's one: "...are equivalent because Ll=0." There's no "Ll" anywhere else on the page. What this should have been was delta-x = 0. There are run-together's, misspellings, things left out, incorrect symbols...Again, that's only the first chapter. It's a shame to pay 9.00 and get a mess like this. This one's not ready for prime time.
Don't trust this seller! - Jungsook Larson - jhouston
I've never got the book. After I read some reviews I had a doubt. Howevever it was a great deal and I thought it is safe to buy it through amazon. Despite his reason to sell the book, the estimate delivery took a month. It has been over a month I still don't have the book neither get any email respose from him. He needs to be eliminated from amazon.
