The Calculus Tutoring Book
Carol Ash, Robert B. Ash
This book does what it intends to do. It gives the reader a gentle, but extremely engaging and informative, introduction to calculus. It goes from simple 1 dimensional caclulus to the calculus of three dimensions. Its scope is not as large as other calculus books, but where it lacks in scope, it easily makes up for in qaulity. It is a very intuitive approach, and some of the proofs for important theorems are a little short and informal, but this does not really detract from the book. All it means is that this book shares the illness of all books, it can't cover everything in one go. You will need to get other books to go deeper into calculus, but this one is one hell of a start.
