I am teaching a limit/derivative/integral calculus course using calculus by Larson Edwards 9th edition

I just want to know if anyone has taken a course or used this book and what problems their instructor assigned

im taking calc 3 right now with version 10 & i teach HS math but here is my opinion on picking problem sets

for example if the first questions (1-12) are a type of problem its typically best to do like 3,5,7,11 at the most.

not necessary to do the first one because its usually the easiest - but this is only not-necessarry if it its an easy concept....harder concepts may need both an easy and hard problem to make connections..

Believe it or not I have two copies of that book. One is at the office, the other is under my dog's food dish (along linear algebra book and a phone book, she is getting old and needs a boost).

Sorry I can't offer advise about problem sets, but it is a good book imo.

The procedural fluency problems are not an issue im mainly concerned with the applications or problems with real world connections (usually the higher numbered problems). I don't want to search through the 50 in each section for 3-4 good ones.

The book is really good the author justifies and explains what he's good really well.

Someone must be taking a course using this book! Thanks everyone for your help

I'm sure there is, but the # of people that frequent this section you are going to hit the lottery if you find someone taking the same calc difficulty as you with the same book.

You may want to try a different approach, perhaps there are web-based teachings on the topics you are interested in learning more about? (There usually are, you just have to find them).
