Bob Miller's Calc for the Clueless, Calc I, 2/e (4-vol. Set)

The book presents the material in the first semester of a standard college calculus sequence as an encouraging teacher would, explaining all topics and techniques in clear, easy-to-understand terms, answering the questions that most often crop up, anticipating students' difficulties and confusions like an experienced teacher, thereby eliminating math anxiety and bridging the "understanding gap" between student and standard text.
