What Instructors Are Saying
 
...about the writing, examples, and problems

• "Some of the best exercises I have seen."
  -Gregory Dresden, Washington and Lee University

 

• "Well written....as engaging as a calculus book can be."
  -Thomas Riedel, University of Louisville

 

• "Rogawski talks to students at their level, and uses simple yet powerful examples"
  -Joaquin Carbonara, Buffalo State College

 

• "There is a feeling of the mathematics growing and unfolding in a logical [way]. I think that this is a real gift for students."
  -Tristen Denley, University of Mississippi

 

• "The homework sets are delightful. The 'Preliminary Questions' and 'Further Insights and Challenges' are excellent for inducing deeper thoughts than just performing calculations."
  -Mark Fitch, University of Alaska, Anchorage

 

• "A good balance of theoretical and practical content; there is not too much theory that will confuse the average student (who will not major in mathematics but needs a good solid handle on the derivatives and integrals)."
  -Jurg Boli, University of New Mexico

 

• "Rogawski's writing style is very good. The language is direct and uncluttered. The mathematics is presented in a straightforward manner at a level suitable for calculus students."
  -Norm Feldman, Sonoma State University

 

• "The applications in this manuscript are, I think, better than those in Stewart. The author appears to have taken the time to find examples from applications of calculus, rather than composing idealized problems. A good instance of this is the example about storage on a computer disk"
  -John Ellison, Grove City College

...about the content

• "The extensive coverage of the error ('Effect of Inexact Measurement' and 'The Size of the Error') are truly useful examples. These are great means for introducing computational methods which many will use."
  -Mark Fitch, University of Alaska, Anchorage

 

• "(The formal treament of the limit) is simply great. Very much to the point, accurate, and with an eye on Real Analysis."
  -Joaquin Carbonara, Buffalo State College

 

• "I love your Reimann sums. A real selling point."
  -David McKay, University of California, Long Beach

 

• "Stewart's presentation of logarithms is needlessly cluttered. I much prefer Rogawski's."
  -Gregory Dresden, Washington & Lee University

 

• "The sheer fact that this book reorders certain sections (linear approximation and numerical integration) and adds Taylor polynomials as a section on applications of integration makes it different from almost all calculus texts I am familiar with. The manuscript under consideration is more direct in presentation."
  -Elias Deeba, University of Houston
