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

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

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

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-06-16 Summary: Easy fast read. ... Although the book does not cover every subject that you will encounter in calc I and II, it does cover the basics and gives great examples of real world applications. The flow of the book is nice which makes it easy and fast to read. I like the Preface which states that "we should skip the preface because we're doing math".

[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-28 Summary: Amazing ... This book was amazing. After failing calculus, I decided I needed some extra help other than just the assigned book. I tried the "Calculus for Dummies" book, as well as this (a friend loaned it to me), and this book was by far the biggest help. If you're having trouble with calculus, or are planning to take calculus, try to find this book. This book puts forth great information in an amusing manner that doesn't detract from the material (in my opinion, others may vary). Some of the jokes actually helped me with understanding ...more

Be Prepared for the AP Calculus Exam
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-03-22 Summary: Good compact review, but weak on practice problems with fully-worked solutions ... This book focuses on the subset of first year calculus topics needed for the AP exams, and it provides comprehensive coverage of those topics. It also includes an Appendix on the use of TI calculator models 83, 84, 86, and 89. A graphing calculator (only certain models are allowed) is now required for the AP Calculus exams. Compared to other preparation texts covering similar AP calculus topics, this book is relatively short, running less than 400 pages. This brevity is achieved primarily in two ways, one is by providing ...more
