Provides, in a single volume, a unified treatment of first year topics fundamental to university mathematics. Successfully bridges the transitional gap between school and university in a careful, thorough and unusually clear treatment. An essential text for students aiming for an honours degree in mathematics.
A sound beginning to mathematics degrees, and a reference book for anyone who uses maths regularly. If you seek a first year university text, certainly look at this one. I wish that I had a copy as an undergraduate. --Mathematics Today
