About the Author Howard Anton, Drexel University
Surfvh said Don't Go Second Best! Go Anton! Skip The Garbage!. This is the best calculus book for the 99% of us who could care less about proofs and other tripe. This is for people who prefer applied mathematics, i.e engineers, scientists, social scientists, rather than spending 90% of your time doing stuff you'll never, ever use again. Anton focuses on real-world problems, and lots of them from many fields. His explanations of examples are thorough and complete, rather than skipping key steps and leaving you fl. This book is truly the best Intro Calculus text available. I have taught Calculus at the University level for well over 20 years now. When I first arrived, the school had already adopted the 1st edition of Anton's Calculus, and the school (and myself) have liked it so much that we have stuck with Anton for 20 years, until 2000. For some reason, the Math Department has decided to change to Stewart's book. Let me tell you, Anton's book is most certainly the best. The examples actually explain the concept, the . "Best Entry Level Calculus text I have seen ." according to A Customer. Anton's Calculus textbook is the best I have ran across. It is a fantastic text, most of the proofs are worked out and for the most part easy to follow. His writing style is clear and extensive in which he avoids being dense which is a common pitfall in many math textbooks (Especially Calculus.) The problems are generally the right difficulty, and the examples are generally very good. He spends a lot of time concentrating on concepts over computation
This book is intended for those who want to move slowly into the reform movement. The new Sixth Edition of Anton's Calculus is a contemporary text that incorporates the best features of calculus reform, yet preserves the main structure of an established, traditional calculus text. The new edition retains its accessible writing style and a high standard of mathematical precision.
