My recollection is vague, since it was quite a while ago, but there were other things that weren't introduced in my high school curriculum that I remember my calculus textbook containing. I'm glad your school taught you proof of induction and other such things although. I also remember talking to my classmates about how near indecipherable our calculus textbook was.

First semester of college, I took multivariate. That was kind of a mess, because instead of a textbook we got a "bound" compilation of our professor's notes that he was trying to turn into a textbook. It has been some time, but I kept lots of math books from college, and I specifically threw that thing out. My recollection is that it was pretty much worthless.
