An Outstanding Book
This is really a great book. I learned calculus from this book 20 years ago, and now, as I relearn it, I use it again. The writing is clear, and the examples progress from the easy to the difficult. If you are studying on your own, I recommend getting this or any other old edition of the book, along with the teacher's manual that has every problem solved. (If you're teaching yourself calculus, you do not need the latest and greatest book. Save your money and buy an old classic like this. If you can't find the complete user manual, consider ordering it through your library using an interlibrary loan.If you are inquisitive, sometimes, along the way, you might have an idea about something and want to test it out; for this I recommend either alpha.wolfram.com or Mathematica. You could use a graphing calculator instead of these, but Mathematica is extremely powerful. If you're not ready to buy Mathematica, alpha.wolfram.com is an excellent substitute.The one flaw in this book that I suspect many books share is the fragmented way in which it approaches integration techniques. The books teaches around 10 methods for integration, and it's difficult to remember them all. However, I am not sure what could be done to improve this, so I don't deduct anything for this.A great feature of the book is that towards the latter part of the exercises, you are generally forced to reuse old skills that you may have started to forget. For instance, you may be working on integration techniques but then have to find the surface area of a solid of revolution, forcing you to recall how to set up that integral.Finally, I'll say that I'm slightly prejudiced, because I learned calculus from this book (or one edition earlier) years ago.

Good range of complexity covered
This seems suitable for all levels of undergraduate calculus. The explanations of high school or 1st semester calculus are reasonably succint and clear. I will be commencing multivariate calculus shortly and coverage seems adequate for that as well. There are truly a vast number of problems so I find it helpful for reviewing earlier subjects in preparation for my next course.I strongly recommend the Kindle version (which only works on the iPad or computer please note) as it is a fascimile of the written book but without the weight. I have an ancient hard copy by my bed as well...No big textbook for maths is perfect but I rarely get frustrated with this one, it would be my recommendation after I have been trying a few.

No better Calculus textbook yet!
Professor Anton, pedagogically, has followed in the footsteps of the late Louis Leithold (Calculus with Analytic Geometry) in terms of freshness of approach to the teaching of the calculus. However, on pg 105, (discontinuity in a rational function, etc), the explanation offered in relation to the limits is very unsatisfactory. One has to refer to pg. 57 to discover that an integral part of the answer on pg 105 is that there is a "restricted domain" for the numerator. Many more elucidation flaws exist in the textbook but, overall, the author has done a truly marvelous work.

Great for proofs
I bought this in highschool, this is one of the few books that explains each subject with a proof, whether its the derivative or the divergence theorem. I am greatly indebted to this book !

Adequate Replacement of Modern Textbook Especially for Autodidacts, Advanced Learners and Ascetics
Anton Calculus (4th Edition) covers three semesters of college calculus in a clear, thorough, well diagrammed package and introduces differential equations along with analytical geometry. An expanded trigonometry review and helpful summaries on either end of the book are also included. Exercises in the book are graded in difficulty just like the progression of topics in the book. This book adequately replaces new calculus text's, but ensure that your instructor will allow it to be used and that there aren't any hip topics missing.

But the price is amazing considering its a full calculus textbook
Many of the print is faded and barely visible... But the price is amazing considering its a full calculus textbook. The fact it is paperback makes this book way more conveienet for me to carry around than the hardcover version. Came to me packaged brand new, so i dont understand why the print quality wasnt bolder and more visible

Poor quality print ...
This is a huge book. The paper and print quality isn't good. International student edition is misguided print on the cover page. The comments on this book are also deceptive. Due to poor quality of the product, I just returned it. The rating is for the poor quality of the product. Even some pages are torn inside. The seller is prompt in service, but the publisher's print quality is very poor.

Greatest Book Ever !
Great delivery by Amazon . I got my product in just 2 days !Talking about the book... I have already read some of it in PDF format and this is the same book with the same amount of content. You can search the name of the book on PDFdrive.com. The concepts in this book are so clearly stated that even a small kid would easily understand. Everything has a visual representation. Even multivariable Calculus is covered here ! Another good choice is Thomas Calculus. ( I bought this for 833/- )Thanks Amazon !
