Calculus
This text was very comprehensive. It covered every section that our current book covers for 251 and 252.
I found no errors. Of course there are probably many considering it is a newer math book. No bias was present.
Examples given covered topics that should endure for a good amount of time. Relativity, rockets, swimmers and runners, windows... this book won't feel dated in 10 years.
All of the author's explanations were exceedingly clear. This was one of the features I most appreciated. Diagrams were not overly cluttered, each page was free of distracting margin comments and very to the point.
I found no inconsistencies.
This book follows the traditional layout of a calculus book. The sections lined up almost exactly with our current book. In fact, we currently cover 251 in 24 sections, and Open stax covers the material in 25 sections.
Very logical flow. Again, this book structured in a similar way to our current book. Switching to open stax would be nearly effortless.
The images and graphs appeared to be lower budget. I should also not that the images and graphs were also free of clutter and easily understood. Many of the tables were oversized and distracting.
If there are grammar errors in the book, they did not distract from the content. Again this book is written in a simple clear manner.
The text is not culturally insensitive or offensive in any way. Examples and problems do not make reference to individuals race or ethnicity.
I found this book to be clear and logically laid out. There were nice pieces of history interjected. The layout was intuitive. Each section was well motivated with examples. I also appreciated that volume 1 only covered only differential and integral calculus.
