Calculus I
The goal of this text is to help students learn to use calculus intelligently for solving a wide variety of mathematical and physical problems. This book is an outgrowth of our teaching of calculus at Berkeley, and the present edition incorporates many improvements based on our use of the first edition. We list below some of the key features of the book. Examples and Exercises The exercise sets have been carefully constructed to be of maximum use to the students. With few exceptions we adhere to the following policies. - The section exercises are graded into three consecutive groups: (a) The first exercises are routine, modelled almost exactly on the exam- ples; these are intended to give students confidence. (b) Next come exercises that are still based directly on the examples and text but which may have variations of wording or which combine different ideas; these are intended to train students to think for themselves. (c) The last exercises in each set are difficult. These are marked with a star (*) and some will challenge even the best students. Difficult does not necessarily mean theoretical; often a starred problem is an interesting application that requires insight into what calculus is really about. - The exercises come in groups of two and often four similar ones.

A very good sequence of calculus books that deserve more credit ...

It is a great mystery to me that the 3 volume calculus set by Marsden is not mentioned with the cream of the crop calculus books such as Spivak, Apostol, Courant, Strang, etc... This is an excellent treatment of calculus that has much to offer the reader: 1. The coverage contains the optimal amount of rigor for a first course. Engineers and physicists will not be turned off (as they might be by Spivak or Apostol) and ivory tower math types will at least appreciate that this book is far superior to the watered down treatment given in the usual mass produced calculus texts (e.g., Stewart). 2. The 3 volume paperback format - where each volume is only a few hundred pages - is a vast improvement over the 6.5 pound monolithic calculus textbook in vogue today. 3. Marsden write very well and covers all the right topics. I like the organization of the book - especially the fact that integration is covered early in the first book. I should also mention that Marsden is one of the rare mathematicians who is both an excellent research mathematician and also cares about undergraduate teaching and mathematics pedagogy. In summary, if you are an undergrad in math, physics, or engineering (or are just looking for a good review text), these books should be given serious consideration as your primary textbook. Highly recommended !
exellent book for undergraduate Texts in Mathe.
