5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent and clear book for Calculus II
Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2024

This is a great Calculus II book. Why great? Because it is about as clear, and about as nicely presented as any other book, but at about 25% the cost. Its a really exceptional deal for a good quality Calculus text.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic resource!
Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2021

This book is part of the Open Textbook Library, so I'm primarily reviewing the online edition.

If you're learning integral calculus, get this book! It's free, so that's a plus, and it's written by Strang, one of the greatest living math teachers without a question.

While most American schools use Stewart: Early Transcendentals to teach the calculus series, the reality is that formal language, immediately difficult examples, and few explicit problem solving techniques make Stewart's text an *excellent* tool to practice challenging problems, but sometimes not the most learner-friendly pedagogical experience. Strang's text, by contrast, is concise, brief, and focuses on developing intuition for patterns of simple problems. If a student uses Strang before approaching Stewart, I believe that student would be far, far more likely to succeed than if the student is using Stewart alone.

If I have a tiny criticism of this book, it's that the problems never get as ugly (read: real-world) as the problems in Stewart, but in my opinion that is almost a strength: first the student develops the pattern recognition and problem solving techniques, then the student will gain confidence in solving problems using the problem solving techniques without getting bogged down in extra algebraic or trigonometric details. Following this book with Stewart, Kline, or Spivak would give the student an extremely strong intuition on how to approach a variety of problems and use a combination of techniques.

Ultimately, integral calculus is intimidating because it introduces ideas that are sometimes more artistic than scientific. This book develops a concrete intuition on which art applies to which problem. After that, problem solving should probably be developed further in another text, but the student can do so confidently thanks to the excellent skills that this book provides.

I wish I could give this six stars. It truly seems like the perfect gentle introduction to integral calculus. Thank you for another home run, Dr. Strang!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Introductory Calculus Textbook
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2021
Verified Purchase
Most new calculus students (as I recently was) are probably unaware of the huge differences between calculus textbooks. Some texts, including this series from Openstax, are more introductory and geared toward new students. Others, such as Stewart's Calculus, are more advanced and better suited to students already familiar with the core concepts (for example, undergraduates who took calculus AB and BC in high school). While the more advanced textbooks emphasize rigor and proofs, these texts have a more conversational tone. Also, the problem sets tend to build more gradually, making this series ideal for the first-time calculus student.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cheap alternative to classic single variable text
Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2019
Verified Purchase
The standard multivariable text costs over $200. This is a 2 volume set and even paying for both volumes is a 50% savings. And it is available as a free PDF download for students who don't need a hard copy. The department at my University is probably going to switch to using this - it has a few bugs but the cost/quality ratio is superb.
