Question about Apostol Text

Hi,
Two questions about Tom Apostol's 2 vol set on calculus.
1) I am considering going to grad school for applied math (starting at
the MS level) and I am wondering if Apostol is a good book to review
(it's been about 8 years since I got my BS). I've noticed that it
appears to be the source book that Rensselaer Poly applied math bases
its prelims on. (Obviously, there is no algebra or topology, so I'm
looking at Apostol as a way to review the essential facts about real
analysis, matrices, vector analysis and diff eqs)
2) When I read the various reviews of Aopstol on Amazon.com, I get the
impression that the editions vary significantly. I read one review
that said Apostol treated Fourier analysis, yet in the editions
available in my library, I did not see any such material covered.
Thank you,
Matt
