What Are Some Good Calculus Books with Solved Exercises?

In summary, the conversation is about finding good books on Calculus with solved exercises. Some recommendations include the (really) old Schaum's Outline series, the book "Counterexamples in Analysis" by Gelbaum and Olmstead, the REA Problem Solver series, and "The Humongous Book of Calculus Problems: For People Who Don't Speak Math."

Hello,

I haven't been able to find a good book.

Could you please suggest some good books with solved exercises on Calculus (starting from limits, etc..)?

the (really) old schaums outline series used to be pretty good, but the newer ones may not be as good. if you want a really good book of non trivial solved problems, look at the book "counterexamples in analysis" by gelbaum and olmstead.

thank you mathwonk for your suggestion, the book looks interesting.

anyway i think i need an exercise (step-by-step) book, more than a counterexamples one.

thanks.

You might want to try the REA Problem Solver series or the Schaum's Solved problems series.

What about: The Humongous Book of Calculus Problems: For People Who Don't Speak Math? That's exactly what that book is a huge collection of problems solved, step by step.
