This is a useful calculus book, where I draw some physics problems to work on. I am particularly interested in deriving Kepler's elliptical obits, for which the book has detailed derivation.
The unit is a BS style, use pound/ton force etc, which gives quite a bit trouble to modern readers, who are only familiar with SI units. For this, I give it a 4 star.

This is not like a more modern Calculus text book. There is a lot of reading and not many exercises.

Am a doctor and hence had to leave my love for physics 20years ago. Now that I have settled I wanted to go back to physics. First hindrance came in the form of calculus. So bought a few books on calculus and started working out but couldn’t go past first few pages. Fortunately I could lay my hands on it and instantaneously fell in love with this book. This book is meant to gain knowledge and not for exam preparation. Wonderful book would be an understatement

I first took calculus over 20 years ago and always did well in math, so I wanted a text that I could keep as a refresher (for studying more advanced statistics) and reference for things I may have forgotten. So my experience with the book may differ from someone who has never been exposed to calculus before. In my opinion, this book is an excellent introductory text for single variable calculus. While it is a bit dated (it's a reprint from 1977), given its low cost, compactness, and how comprehensive it is, I think its value is unbeatable (especially compared to current university calculus texts).
While there *are* some drawbacks/negative aspects, I think they're pretty minor but they should be pointed out either way:
1) Typos -- there are a non-insignificant number of typos throughout. Some of these are trivial to spot, while a few were in the answers to select exercises. I spent time scratching my head trying to match the printed answer when it turns out there was a typo. This might be a bigger concern for absolute beginners.
2) Graphics -- the figures are clearly very dated and don't have captions. However, this isn't really a problem until...

Fluent and readable introduction to calculus, might seem bit lengthy at times, but always sticking to the point. Easy to skim through the sections that you are already familiar with, and the extra explanation is useful for improvement of understanding of newer sections.

por el precio y la claridad con que expone los conceptos es una gran compra.

I am currently working through this book. Other reviewers have mentioned all the good points and features of this text. However, given the text is 920 pages long, the reader would normally be required to invest a lot of time working with it. With that in mind, it is natural to ask the all important question: whether this book is really for you? My answer is that it depends on your mathematical backgrounds.
As we know, Kline's approach to this book is intuitive. Kline argued that "intuition" is the way human's mind learns things; and he is right on. Especially with calculus whose essence being a collection of "mathematical methods" fundamental to the understanding of physical world. To study these mathematical methods without understanding or appreciating the physical problems or applications which gave birth to their (the methods') development is therefore meaningless and shallow. On this point alone, Kline's approach is a first rate introduction to calculus. On the other hand, Kline's text despite being quite thick never progresses beyond these intuitive functions; instead Kline spends a lot of space discussing elementary topics like analytic geometry and...
