How much math skills do you need to appreciate this book?


the Postscript at the end says:

While not every student is expected to read the book sequen- tially cover to cover, it is important to have the details in one place. Calculus is not a subject that can be learned in one pass. Indeed, this book nearly assumes readers have already had a year of calculus, as had the students of MAT 157Y. I hope this book will grow with its readers, remaining both readable and informative over multiple traversals, and that it provides a useful bridge between current calculus texts and more advanced real analysis texts.


My first impression, paging through it, is that it's at a somewhat higher level than the typical college calculus course.
