Barron's AP Calculus
Feature: ... ISBN13: 9780764143243; Condition: NEW; Notes: Brand New from Publisher. No Remainder Mark. ...more
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-11-30 Summary: Challenging but rewarding ... This book has a thorough coverage of AP Calculus AB/BC. I used this book for the multiple-choice section and CollegeBoard's own materials for the free-response section. Most of my students scored 5. I also used some of chapters for my IB Mathematics SL and HL students. Most US high-school students feel calculus is too challenging for them since they did not have enough practice in algebra, geometry, and pre-calculus. The following is my suggestion: if you got at least an A in pre-calculus/trigonometry, you may want ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-07-24 Summary: Great Preparation for Multiple-Choice Questions ... I used this book solely for the multiple-choice practice problems, not the review or tests, so I can only vouch for the MC problems. The coverage of topics is both broad and deep, with well over 500 problems of varying difficulty. Taking the AP Exam, I felt confident, prepared, and familiar with every problem type. The only complaint I have is the lack of fully developed solutions to the MC problems. The short one- or two-line explanations were always enough to answer any of my questions, but for those struggling with ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-03-30 Summary: Best AP review ... Best review for AP exam out there. I teach the AP course and have tried many others. The questions in this book are challenging - prepping an AP student well for exam day. ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-26 Summary: excellent book ... Having read Strogatz's "Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos" Nonlinear Dynamics And Chaos: With Applications To Physics, Biology, Chemistry, And Engineering (Studies in nonlinearity) I can only say that this book shines in the same spirit of a man who is able to bring conceptual understanding of math to a level that the read is able to glimpse and understand the workings of the minds who derived and invented the theorems to begin with. Many reviewers here have already mentioned the heartfelt rendition of the author's friendship ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-11-11 Summary: A very interesting book ... This is a very interesting book about the relationship between a high school student and teacher that extends long after the student has graduated. Because both student and teacher are math teachers, the correspondence between them frequently revolves aroung math problems that interest them, but it includes much more than that. Not being mathematically inclined whatsoever, I skipped over all the math, and found it a touching story. For those interested in the math too, it will be a double treat. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-11-11 Summary: Calculus in Life ... Written by a Math Prof @ Cornell University, it is on Calculus, not in the dry formal math textbook way, but via a life story and many correspondences with his retired high-school math teacher, who helped the author overcome his fear of "epsilon-delta" in Calculus lesson at high-school. Also in this book the author gave the working example of Feynman's "Differentiate under Integral" trick, not shown in the original book "Are you Joking, Mr. Feynman" where Feynman mentioned he self-paced the "secret weapon" from the ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-10-02 Summary: I really enjoyed it ... Very touching book. I admit I did not understand all the math ... I enjoyed seeing it, though.:) Bittersweet in a "benjamin button" sort of way. ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | The Calculus of Friendship is the story of an extraordinary connection between a teacher and a student, as chronicled through more than thirty years of letters between them. What makes their relationship unique is that it is based almost entirely on a shared love of calculus. For them, calculus is more than a branch of mathematics; it is a game they love playing together, a constant when all else is in flux. The teacher goes from the prime of his career to retirement, competes in whitewater...more

The Humongous Book of Calculus Problems: For People Who Don't Speak Math
Feature: ... ISBN13: 9781592575121; Condition: NEW; Notes: Brand New from Publisher. No Remainder Mark. ...more
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-22 Summary: Strongly Recommend ... I strongly recommend this book to anyone who is taking Calculus. Each problem is explained step by step and the formulas are constantly reminded. There are a wide range of problems from easy to difficult which makes learning gradual and permanent. The writer has a good sense of humor and is a good teacher. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-12-06 Summary: Great Reference when Studying Calculus ... I bought this book because I couldn't follow while I was reading the textbook and had a hard time following my math teacher at college. So I decided to buy another book for reference, and make it easier for me to understand these concepts, and try them out. I liked how he approached each problem from easy to difficult degree of problems. This book explains it very clearly and what other steps we can approach solving the problem. It also gives you tips, formulas and graphs to memorize too. Awesome content and this book ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-11-25 Summary: Helpful for review ... After a year long absence between my calculus 1 and calculus 2 classes it was suggested to pick up this book for review. this book is not only giving me a thorough review, but keeps my attention. Overall I think the best part of the book is how when working through the problems the method used and the steps taken to complete the problems differ. Unlike a traditional mat book where a set way is presented and the student then applies the formula 25 times in a row before moving on. ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | Now students have nothing to fear … Math textbooks can be as baffling as the subject they’re teaching. Not anymore. The best-selling author of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Calculus has taken what appears to be a typical calculus workbook, chock full of solved calculus problems, and made legible notes in the margins, adding missing steps and simplifying solutions. Finally, everything is made perfectly clear. Students will be prepared to solve those obscure problems that were never...more

Stochastic Calculus for Finance II: Continuous-Time Models (Springer Finance) (v. 2)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-02-22 Summary: Finally, a book that explains.. ... As one of my Math professors put it, "a mathematician will never ever dream of coming up with Black-Scholes formula". The key here is to understand why Fischer Black and Myron Scholes were forced to make the kind of assumptions they have made to price an option contract. The adapted processes, the sigma algebras and several such seemingly abstract concepts are hard to understand or even teach in one or two semesters. It seems the accepted pedagogical approach in teaching this subject has been to skim the surface and ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-05-03 Summary: Good and rigourous intro to financial maths ... This is definitely one of the best introductory books on financial mathematics. The book starts to make sense after a summer course in discrete-time martingale course (using william's blue book). Shreve's book gives a general introduction to Brownian motion and Ito stochastic calculus. At the same time, he shows how to apply these theoreis into financial maths, equity or interest rate etc. If you want to learn financial mathematics at a relatively more rigourous level (yet still not too difficult), this is the book ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-03-24 Summary: excellent book on quantitative finance ... Nicely written. Shreve is the one of the best authors in mathematical writings(another one I like is milnor). Worth buying one. ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-01-13 Summary: The definitive word ... This is the most fundamental word in mathematical finance. Those with a background in math will benefit most: ordinary differential equations, probability theory, statistics and multivariable calculus prerequisites. This is a very mathematical approach. Don't look to it for computational implementations of the financial models it covers. But for the mathematical foundations of the models, this is THE book. ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | Stochastic Calculus for Finance evolved from the first ten years of the Carnegie Mellon Professional Master's program in Computational Finance. The content of this book has been used successfully with students whose mathematics background consists of calculus and calculus-based probability. The text gives both precise statements of results, plausibility arguments, and even some proofs, but more importantly intuitive explanations developed and refine through classroom experience with this...more

Calculus of a Single Variable
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-21 Summary: Excellent seller ... The ordered book came sooner than I thought. Pleasant surprise. Book was in very good condition as described. I'd buy from this seller in future without any hesitation. Thank you for the prompt transaction. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-11-15 Summary: Better than expected ... If your teacher doesn't make the ride easy for you, then you can count on this book. It's organized so that you really feel as though you are learning Calculus from start to finish. I've looked at other books that seem to jump around from concept to concept, but the approach here is well thought out and the explanations adequate. Formatting (color of text, organization of topics, etc.) makes it easy to find what you're looking for if a section refers you back to a previously studied concept (or forward in some cases) ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-09-26 Summary: great book ... i recieved the book quickly and its a nice book(brand new). Nice and shiny haha. I don't have any complaints, nothing but positivity. The information on the book was great, service great, and amazon is always great. ...more
