DESCRIPTION:
An introduction to the calculus, with an excellent balance between theory and technique. Integration is treated before differentiation -- this is a departure from most modern texts, but it is historically correct, and it is the best way to establish the true connection between the integral and the derivative. As in the first edition, an interesting historical introduction precedes each important new concept.. Proofs of all the important theorems are given, generally preceded by geometric or intuitive discussion. This Second Edition introduces the mean-value theorems and their applications earlier in the text, incorporates a treatment of linear algebra, and contains many new and easier exercises

Magnificent João Salvatti The best existing calculus book! no other compares.. Review of Tommy Volume 2 Tina M. M. Silverman I am currently enrolled in BC Calculus in my high school as well as linear algebra at a local college. What better way to learn both together than with Tommy. This is a great book to learn the connections between the two and how to do real linear algebra, not straight algebra but differentiating and doing calculus on whatever spaces you want. It's very concise, however not so clear. I skipped into BC and spend a lot of free time doing math and this . Very thorough, but very dense I'm currently taking an honors calculus sequence at the U of WI, and have used this book and the first volume for the past three semesters. Needless to say, you have to take Apostol with a grain of salt. Although the no-frills style and lack of worked examples is upsetting to many students who are used to pictures, thorough examples, and color, these volumes cover a lot of material in a small space. And also beware; my professor and others in the ma
