I'd recommend it to high school students who are preparing to take Calculus. It won't give you the full picture, but it's a great stepping stone, making the transition into a calculus way of thinking less steep. I think that's what most people find difficult about calculus: not that it's actually difficult, but that it's different. ( )

Although Thompson's 1910 text has been revised and modernized, it remains at bottom a utilitarian approach to learning to calculate the solutions to calculus problems. So, while it's not suitable as a text, it may be useful to those having trouble understanding the theory of the calculus but needing it as a tool. ( )
