Summary: Former Professor writes a book and it stinks
Comment: First and foremost, the writer worked at my school. That being said, the math department brought his book along with someone else named Blitzer. Now, Blitzer has a great way of explaining the material well and makes it easy to grasp. This guy, no way, he has no such luck. The guy knows his math, no doubt, but he tries to show you the absolute hardest way to learn it. Our professor used to tell us to do it her way if we couldn't do it his way, which we all did. I barely managed to pass the class with a "C" and it required almost every waking moment doing HW (she gave extra credit for it) as well as studying and learning and memorizing key formulas (or putting them into my Ti-89). I really had a hard time grasping the material the way it was placed forth by this author.
If I had to do it all over, first and foremost, I wouldn't take that accelerated course and secondly, I wouldn't want to use this book, so I'd do only the HW and then use a secondary book to learn. I hope that the next book he drops isn't as a**-backwards.

Summary: This is an excellent book - period
Comment: I am 55 years old and promised myself that when I became financially able I would relearn Algebra, Trigonometry, Geometry, Calculus I, II,III & IV and ODE skills from start to finish. I am now finished with Sullivan's book I have found the book easy to read and understand. The presenation of the material is well thought out and the abundance of practice problems invaluable. If you are serious about math then this is a great book.
