Calculus Volume 1 by OpenStax (hardcover version, full color)

Thank you so much for these books. So helpful for my msc course. I haven’t got past the index yet, I’ve only just got them. As I read each one, I will leave a review, it’s only fair, you give them away, it helps me, i will take the time to review each.

Excellent text for explaining calculus basics with very good revision material. Fantastic price and extremely fast delivery from America. Ordered the other volumes (vol 2 and vol of which has 2 books). Written very well and recommended for students on HNC/D and initial degree studies.

I found it to be very informative and well presented particularly for advanced students and those who who wished to specialise

I needed this book in a hurry and was going to sell it after using but obviously it arriving damaged has spoilt my plans

I know, I know - I should have read the description. I knew there were hardback and paperback versions, I knew "the content is identical" and both were colour, and I already had the free download PDF, so when I decided to buy I didn't think I needed to do that - I just found the book, selected "paperback" and placed the order. Finding out that not only did I accidentally order the black-and-white paperback but Amazon UK don't even sell the colour paperback is annoying. The point of wanting the paper books was easier readability than using a tablet screen, but the lack of colour damages readability for me. Not only that, but finding diagrams with descriptions like "The red graph is the constraint function" in a book that has no red, only shades of grey, is pretty annoying even though it's pretty obvious which is the constraint function. That's something I stumbled on early (volume 3, Lagrange Multipliers, page 459 figure 4.60, again page 461 figure 4.61). To be fair, a quick search for more examples didn't find anything. WRT the star rating - I had to give one even though I haven't read that much, and this isn't really new material for me, just a more expansive calculus-specific reference than various engineering/physics mathematics textbooks. That said, I personally find Strangs Linear Algebra books are good, and have no reason to think writing about calculus or having a co-author are bad things. This review is really just a warning that (as, to be fair, the description clearly states) this is the black and white paperback, not the colour one.
