Not worth the money
I purchased this book hoping to get more in depth explanations to the answers to the problems in the main text book, but in the end get very little from it. For some, like me, calculus is a difficult subject and any extra help can go a long ways. This student solutions manual only includes answers to EVER OTHER ODD problem. Not every odd, not every other, only every other odd (i.e. 1, 5, 9, etc.) I find the "hard" problems in the main text are frequently NOT the ones the solutions manual shows. The few problems from each section that are actually covered do show most of the intermediate steps between the original problem and the final solution in the scope of the section/chapter. Also, there is no explanation on what is being done in each step; the solution from each major step is shown with no information about how that step (or solution) was achieved. In the end the price simply is not worth paying for only a very small subset of solutions.

does not match text
This book does not match the text book that Amazon says it
is supposed to accompany, do not buy!

Don't Bother
This manual has very few questions worked out.I find it much more helpful to my learning to check my answers in the back of the textbook and work them out again if they are wrong.Don't bother to buy this.

NOT I REPEAT NOT RECOMMENDED!!
worst solutions manual i have ever "used". actually i could not even use this because every problem i was assigned in the class was not covered in this book. i am a parent and full time worker as well as full time student and i have limited time to get lab/teacher assistance and look to solution manuals to help clear any confusion i have on certain problems and this did not do that.

if you can find instructors annotated edition, i recommend it.

Very minimalistic solution manual
This manual has only every other odd problems solved(1,5,9...) Who is going to do others? Answers are not consistent with the book. It is very brief and not as comprehensive as calculus students may need. ... Read more

Not the same as the US edition.
If you are buying this edition because it is oodles cheaper than the regular US edition, please note that in addition to all units being metric, the homework problems will be in a different order, and it also includes some problems not in the regular US edition.

book review
The book that I received was the book that I wanted, but I was under the impression that it would be in better shape than it was, but other than that, it was great.

AMAZON CHARGED ME $66 DOLLARS TO RETURN THIS BOOK
I ordered this book for my daughter to use at univeristy.Upon receiving it we realized that it did not have the Wiley computer code for her school and therefore she couldn't use it.I returned the book, unused within four days of receiving it and Amazon.com charged me sixty six dollars plus shipping for the return. DON'T ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY IF THERE IS EVEN A SLIGHT CHANCE THAT YOU WILL NEED TO RETURN THE BOOK>Heck don't even think of ordering from a book store that charges $66 dollars on a $132 book that was returned unused within 4 days.

Not Ideal
I used this book for my Multivariable Calculus class last semester.It is, by far, the worst calculus book I have ever used.Most math books are not particularly user-friendly, but this one is truly terrible.It is ok for introducing the very basics, but it does not give students enough information or good examples to complete the problems or learn the material as well as is expected in a college course.
All the example problems are far easier than the actual problems at the end of the chapter.The book seems to be proud of this fact because it says in its "note to students" at the front of the book that you will notice that the problems are rarely similar to the example problems.This is all well and good, but students need some basic exercises to complete to learn the general concept before they can be expected to complete difficult, application-based problems.I found it extremely frustrating when I could not get problem number one in a section, and I am a strong math student and did well in my course.
I also remember several sections that would introduce new theorems without any explanation and direct students to a problem at the end of the chapter.When I would get to that problem, it would offer absolutely no guidance whatsoever and simply ask you to show that the theorem is true.I found this completely useless.
Additionally, I attest that curl and divergence are explained better on Wikipedia than in this text.
The bottom line is that, if this book is not required for your course, do not go near it.However, if it is, go ahead and get supplemental materials (I thought How to Ace the Rest of Calculus: The Streetwise Guide, Including Multi-Variable Calculus was reasonably helpful) and try your best to get a good professor.

Worst Calculus 3 book
First off not all the odd problems are given in the back of the book.Second, the problems that the answers are given to are the EASY problems.Check this out...(this is the reason i'm writing this review...# in Chapter 17.3 #11-19 asked to draw vector fields and the answers section gives you the answer to the problems they solved as examples earlier in the chapter!!!How the F#*% am I supposed to learn if I cant check my answers.My professor asked us to solve Q#16
F(r)= -r/||r||^3there are no examples remotely close to this.

This happens in almost every chapter.It just stinks when you actually want to learn and all the teacher does is regurgitate the book who gives easy examples and asks some mind bending questions #Q#16 isnt mind bending but some are!)

If you need help with Calc just youtube MIT and actually learn something!

DONT BUY THIS BOOK, and if you see it on your syllabus find a good supplement!

Prompt Delivery and in Decent Condition
The book arrived in A few days and was the first of my textbooks to arrive. My only complaint is that the book was listed as being in "very good" condition, but I would consider it in "good" or maybe even "fair" condition. The cover was worn to the point that it seems this book has been around the block more than a couple times. That said, I would say spending $10 for a $120 book is worth the extra wear and tear.

Applied Calculus
An excellent textbook which covers introductory topics in Calculus.
The author also touches on topics from Multivariate Calculus, which
will only benefit you.

Gets the Job Done
As a college student, I also have this book available to me online, but it's great having the hard copy, since it's what I am accustomed to.
Overall the book has lots of examples and portrays the material very well.

Good Quality and Fast Service
I was a bit skeptical to buy a textbook online at first. However, with my purchase I found my worries to disappear. The Applied Calculus book I bought had an overall good quality with the only complaint being that the corners of the book had been folded or somewhat torn. The delivery was also exceptional. I received my book about 1-2 days after ordering online. So far so good. I can't really find anything wrong to say about my purchase.

Good Textbook
This textbook is good, but not great--unless you have an instructor who will interpret the calculus-based applications and problems in the book. Nonetheless, not bad. ... Read more

Does not include Wiley Plus
If you are looking for access to WileyPlus to be included with this book, do not purchase this item.
Even though the product description clearly states, "Readers will also gain access to WileyPLUS", they do not give you access.It does not say that Readers may also gain access for a fee.There is nothing in the listing of this book that says anything about purchasing WileyPlus separately.

Amazon will not stand by their product description.
In fairness to Amazon, they did offer to give me a refund.Since my son is at college now and needs the book, our options are limited and we will not be able to return it for a refund.

Since I can not count on Amazon to describe their products accurately, I have no other option than to look other places for products.

amazing
the quality was well beyond the price...and did I mention I got it like "new"?

the cover looks nice
I have a Ph.D. in math and teach at a college in California.I compared the Hughes-Hallett book with 7 other calculus books:Anton, Edwards, Larson, Rogawski, Smith, Stewart, Thomas.Here are some concerns with the Hughes-Hallett book.

This book is missing the following topics:reciprocal trigonometric functions (sec x, csc x, cot x), squeeze theorem, logarithmic differentiation, sketching graphs by hand by using derivatives, telescoping series, curvature, tangential and normal components of acceleration, line and surface integrals over scalar fields.All the other 7 books include these topics.

Six series tests are crammed into section 9.4.None of the other 7 books cram all six of these series tests into one section.

The Root Test for series is embedded into two homework problems.All of the other 7 books include the Root Test in a box within a section.

Planes (12.4) are discussed before talking about vectors (chapter 13).All the other 7 books discuss vectors first and then use vectors to develop planes.

Center of mass multiple integral formulas are embedded into the homework problems.All the other 7 books explain center of mass multiple integral formulas within a section.

The preface reads, "Students are expected to use their own judgment to determine where technology is useful."All the other 7 books make it clear when the students should use technology.

The preface reads, "There are very few examples in the text that are exactly like the homework problems.This means that you can't just look at a homework problem and search for a similar-looking `worked out' example."Many students learn calculus by seeing `worked out' examples.

Instructors:If you are considering adopting this book, then you've been warned.

Students:If you have to use this book, then go to class, do your homework, and good luck.

Hope this information helps.

Calculus
The book does not give enough examples that a student can follow. Most likely the instructor has to do a good job of explaining steps.

good
ive hade 3 calculus books an this one is the worse, but the book did come in as ordered. ... Read more
