Calculus (Stewart's Calculus Series)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-03-10 Summary: Calculus Studied The Right Way ... This book is great to teach and to learn from. This book can save you money at some schools as this edition of the book can cover Calculus I, II, and III; you could end up spending over $300 if you buy the two volume edition of the book. This book does great job explaining most lessons and concepts. The examples are detailed and the proofs are sometimes done in two different ways that will make you more interested in the math than you probably did before. What I also like about this book is how all the sections seems ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-17 Summary: Calculus Book Review ... The book came between the specified dates and was in great condition. I was very pleased with the book. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-28 Summary: The Whole Truth ... How this book is rated depends on one factor: Do you want to learn calculus? If you do, then this book is excellent. Read each section twice while carefully thinking about what is going on. I will say that a small percentage of the exercises are difficult, not because the concepts are difficult, but because it can be hard to know how to set the problem up and because students forget trigonometry or algebra. Find the Instructor Solutions Manual and use these harder exercises and all the project questions to enhance ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-12-05 Summary: Probably the best Undergrad Calculus Text ... I had this book for Calculus I, II, and III. It does a decent job at explaining everything and there are some good exercises in the book. If you actually read through the chapters, you will find yourself picking things up easier, and there are great examples in the reading. This is probably as good as you are going to get in a Undergraduate Calculus text. I find myself going back to it every now and again to refresh my knowledge. ...more

Stochastic Calculus for Finance II: Continuous-Time Models (Springer Finance) (v. 2)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-02-13 Summary: Good Price ... Enjoyed finding the book I needed at a much cheaper price than the school bookstore! ...more
[2] 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
[3] 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
[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 For Dummies Education Bundle
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-09-28 Summary: it helps ... The book is full of smart ass comments and jokes, this to me can get kind of annoying. However I think he did this on purpose to make calculus less drab. as far as the subject matter goes, he chops things up and feeds it to you in little pieces as though you were a baby. Often has too many examples which can make it hard to pay attention at times but I suppose is better than too few. I treat this book as supplementary instruction to my calculus class. I appreciate the pre-calculus review for all the pre calc I forgot ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-03-30 Summary: Good for review ... I have found this to be a good reference tool to ease back in to university classes that require calculus without having to spend money and time to sit through the classes again. This would also be helpful if you are having trouble understanding your current calc class. I liked the workbook. The step by step "work" helps. ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | The mere thought of having to take a required calculus course is enough to make legions of students break out in a cold sweat. Others who have no intention of ever studying the subject have the notion that calculus is impossibly difficult unless you happen to be a direct descendant of Einstein. Well, the good news is that you can master calculus. It’s not nearly as tough as its mystique would lead you to think. Much of calculus is really just very advanced algebra, geometry, and trigonometry....more

[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-12-07 Summary: It is a great book to learn from! ... Ok, it had been three years since I had taken Calc. I and II. I had signed up for classes again and I needed to relearn all the stuff from those two courses. At first, I used the book I had at juco and it was great too. Then, I ordered this book for Calc III and I started using that. I was able to teach myself the stuff of Calc I and II and I rocked Calc III. ...more

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-08-19 Summary: You need this book! ... If, and only if, you are capable of explaining technical things in non-technical terms, can it be said you truly understand them. Mark Zegarelli truly understands Calculus, and because he does, so will you upon working through his book. Too often, writers of mathematics books seem more interested in impressing their readers than teaching them. Many times, I have come away from such a book declaring, "The writer sure seems to know what he's talking about. I only wish I did." This cannot be said of Calculus II. Mark ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-07-20 Summary: excellent resource for college calculus ... really excellent book. i use it as a supplement to lecture, and most of the time is it clearer that both my lecture and textbook. highly recommend it to anyone who wants a no non-sense approach to calculus II material and actually understand what's going on. ...more
