Wonderful book April 14, 2011
by Robin William

Had it for calculus I and well I didn't really use it much, ecampus gave it $50 cheaper than my school campus and it was delivered quite fast. It was in the condition it was said and I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. This is my second time in ordering textbooks at ecampus and I am happy with the results.

Flag Review

Calculus of a Single Variable : Early Transcendental Functions: 5 out of 5 stars based on 1 user reviews.

Summary

The Single Variable portion of Calculus: Early Transcendental Functions, 5/e, offers students innovative learning resources. Every edition from the first to the fifth of Calculus: Early Transcendental Functions, 5/e has made the mastery of traditional calculus skills a priority, while embracing the best features of new technology and, when appropriate, calculus reform ideas.

Larson writes a very clear, straight forward calculus book for students. The book has very good examples to help a student or teacher explain a topic. There are plenty of practice problems, with answers for the odd questions in the back. It provides examples and problems that also meet the AP Calculus AB and BC curriculum.
