Summary: The ultimate for self-teaching..
Review: ..of calculus. This book is the best Calculus book I have seen so far, and I've been doing calculus for quite a while now. It's excellent if you need to self-teach yourself, refresh your memory, or even to just have it as a resource. I would recommend this to anyone.

Summary: Better than Thomas and Finney!
Review: I never once had to go to another book after I used Anton's book. My college uses Finney and Thomas, which sucks compared to Anton's. For self-teaching, this is book is superior to any other book I have used. It is an excellent reference for multi-variate calc. and vector algebra. I wish my college would come around and use Anton's book.

Summary: It teaches you what other college calculus books don't.
Review: In taking the whole calculus sequence, teachers have pretty much forced me to buy a calculus book with every new class I took. I bought Anton's Calculus With Analytic Geometry for my first calculus class ever and throughout the following courses, I have always relied on it to explain to me what isn't explained in other calculus textbooks. It is not only a classic, but in my opinion, it's the best there is on the subject.

By the way, the companion's books written by James E. Ward, are also great books. They take the reader into greater depth in understanding Anton's examples and explanations. These books are money well invested if you are serious about learning calculus, over time they will always have a special place in your library.

Summary: The Review on The best Calculus book out there
Review: Let me start by saying that I have tried reading several Calculus books and have found them to be either too vague and/or not analytical enough from a student's point of view. But with Howard Anton's Calculus books, especially if used in conjunction with the Comapnion books, learning calculus becomes very imformative and fun. This book helped me get A's in Calculus 1 and 2. This is indeed, a GREAT book. Unfortunately, I've lost it. Hence, I'm here.

Summary: Calculus for the common person
Review: The narative introduction of this classic piece of mathematical history was compelling and heart-wrenching. Until I read this book, I had never imagined the romantic and timeless nature of Calculus. I can now not imagine my life without this book, which is a daily source of strength and rejuvenation. My heart is moved on a daily basis by the effect that this work has on the lives and attitudes of my students, a phenomenon unparalleled in my history with mathematics. I OWE MY LIFE TO THIS BOOK!!!!

Summary: An Excellent Calculus Text Book!
Review: While I wouldn't recommend reading this book in one sitting, this book is excellent. It provides a easy to follow examples, good graphics, and lots of problems. The newer edition provides more graphics and an inflated price. If you can find a used one--get it
