Time Capsule STARSPawsitive FEEDBACK!

The Amazon Store at MillionDollarPetPix.com ( In association with Amazon.com )Calculus (With Analytic Geometry)(8th edition) - awesome quality and priceI got this book for a price that's as half as the same item at the other places. Its quality is perfect. Highly recommend! Rating: - Better than Stewart, but it still sucks.The only reason that I didn't give this one star instead of two was because the authors at least *pretended* to be writing a rigorous calculus textbook. If you are interested in mathematics, and want to actually learn calculus, get yourself a copy of Tom Apostol's "Calculus" ... don't waste your time with Larson's book. If you are planning on majoring in economics, and want to robotically punch numbers into formulas -- this book is for you. Rating: - Good ConditionThe calculus book came on time and was is good condition. I am pleased with my purchase. Rating: - all new~it's my first buy a book from the internet.I am so wrriered about the quality of the book, but I am wrong. The book looks awesome and it is a real new book. also, the prise is so cheap, if i bought this book in school's book store, it will cost $191 !OMG ! last thing is shiping is very fast! Rating: - Concepts are there but...Possibly the worst Calculus compilation I've ever seen. No, definitely. The book has several glaring omissions, in terms of concepts, and refuses to use passable grammar or even descriptive language to illustrate its point. It also makes the assumption that your knowledge of pre-calculus and algebra is photographic. In other words, it's impossible to follow the steps outlined in examples without a complimentary reference (unintentional I'm sure...). My students and I were absolutely stunned at the lack of scope in the examples. The accompanying website is moody, at best, and frequently goes down. The ONLY redeeming quality about this book is that it has an abundance of proofs which are explained (terribly) before each section. I could go on, but why? As others mentioned, new editions make no attempt to solve these problems; they're just there to make money. Private Tutors and Teachers: If you're looking for a decent Calculus I/II book, you haven't found it here.
