The reception of The Calculus Lifesaver has been overwhelmingly positive, earning it stellar ratings on sites like Goodreads and Douban. One student raved that the book was "sweeter than candy" and the best non-fiction book they'd ever read, while another, returning to calculus after 40 years, found it "well worth the vast hours". Even Brown University's Steven J. Miller praised its "conversational expository style" and "wealth of worked-out examples," successfully using it as the sole textbook for an intensive course. A common refrain is that the book is "100% easier to understand than the ridiculously technical writing" of a standard textbook. However, it's not without its critics. Some point out that it has fewer practice exercises, and one reviewer noted its treatment of some more advanced topics, like polar forms and complex numbers, can feel rushed. the calculus lifesaver pdf
