Both text and figures (especially figures!) would benefit from some LaTeX based editor. If something, it has the same problem as its commercial counterparts: is written in an editor not designed for mathematics. This is a book superior to most commercial books, in all categories. I did not find any offensive or insensitive language in this book. It has a general look that could be improved if this were designed originally in LaTeX. Everything - text, figures, charts, hyperlinks - display correctly. I used mostly the web interface, as most of my students do, and found no issues. The organization is very standard and follows a logical flow. It makes it easy to create ancillary materials for particular sections of the text. The division in sections and subsections is very natural. Notation and terminology is also consistent. It uses clear language and technical terminology where necessary. The contents of this book are relevant and will last without changes. This is a calculus book - the contents of calculus have not changed for a while in spite of the commercial books' practices of updating their books every year. There are a few small typos that can be reported to be corrected as well as as some errors in exercise solutions. I did not see any errors and the exposition is at an appropriate level of rigor. This book includes all of the standard topics covered in Calculus II. Reviewed by Hellen Colman, Professor, City Colleges of Chicago on 5/3/22 Journalism, Media Studies & Communications +.
