From the reviews:
The book is aimed at beginning university students as a introductory calculus textbook ... . Undoubtedly it is a clearly written exposition of the most typical topics of calculus ... full of good examples, with plenty of exercises and answers to them. ... Summing up, the reviewed book is a decent item, which might be recommended not as a main textbook for an introductory calculus course, but as a additional source mainly for practising typical procedures of differentiation and integration. (Piotr Zarzycki, The Mathematical Gazette, Vol. 92 (525), 2008)
