Spivak all over again
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Once again Michael Spivak has produced a wonderful mathematical treasure. This time he has left behind the analysis type approach of 'Calculus' (which is a gem) that he wrote many years ago and had written a book for the beginner. It covers the basics of calculus, and gives the reader a better first introduction than many of the standard textbooks would ever muster. It may be said that it is low on content, but if you have mastered this book, you will have to move on to a much larger text. Then you will miss a book that you can virtually put in your pocket!!
I actually like it alot.

I picked up this book for my AP Physics C class last year. I thought it was a great explanation of basic calculus, although it's true that it doesn't really cover much more than that.It does, however, cover pretty much all of AP Calculus AB, although its treatment of limits could be a bit more thorough.If you need a quick guide to calculus, don't hesitate to get this book.
