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: 4 Date: 2010-01-11 Summary: Good aid for calculus students ... My son is using this to supplement his 11th grade calculus book. It seems to help with good worked out examples. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-10-11 Summary: Very good material for anyone struggling with Calculus. ... I have been introduced to "Schaum's Outlines" by a University Professor who uses them for his classes. They provide excellent practice exercises to help the student who may be struggling in an area. The answers are provided in the back and step by step instructions accompany the problems. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-04-28 Summary: Good book ... James Stewart's calculus book does not give enough examples so this book really helped me. ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-04-05 Summary: An excellent source of solved problems, but lacking fully-worked solutions for supplementary problems ... This book's primary value is as a source of solved calculus problems. Although a concept discussion precedes each set of solved and supplemental problems, these discussions are extremely short, sometimes just a brief paragraph before problems are presented. The primary value of these discussions will be as a concise review for those already familiar with the areas covered. Each of the fifty-nine chapters includes: 1) brief concepts discussions, 2) solved problems with fully-worked solutions, and 3) supplementary problems. ...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
The Calculus Lifesaver: All the Tools You Need to Excel at Calculus (Princeton Lifesaver Study Guides)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-09-25 Summary: Calculus Lifesaver ... This is a fantastic book. It has been over 30 years since I studied calculus in college and although I could perform the mechanics fairly well, this book provides insights and a level of real understanding that I had not acquired initially. There is no doubt that calculus students using this book will have a tremendous advantage. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-09-13 Summary: A Great Reference Resource ... This is the book you want on your shelf for a quick and handy reference. That pretty well says it; whether you are taking more math, physics, quantitative or whatever. ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | For many students, calculus can be the most mystifying and frustrating course they will ever take. The Calculus Lifesaver provides students with the essential tools they need not only to learn calculus, but to excel at it. All of the material in this user-friendly study guide has been proven to get results. The book arose from Adrian Banner's popular calculus review course at Princeton University, which he developed especially for students who are motivated to earn A's but get only average...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
