Calculus: Early Transcendentals (Stewart's Calculus Series)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-24 Summary: Fast Service ... The book arrived in the promised condition and it was delivered on-time. Truly great service. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-08-10 Summary: For what it's worth. ... Considering the book is designed for a Calc 1 style course, there is VERY little review of pre-calc type material. Very difficult to gain any type of review material or brush-up. But I will say it is a great text for what it was designed for: Calculus. I used the book for a continuing ed class, but have every intention on keeping it for future reference. Which is a shame financially. I mean, the seller sent me a MINT condition book that I won't be re-selling for some time. I'd definitely recommend them based on reasonable ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-07-02 Summary: Goverment 2301 ... The bookseller (dreamboat books) was great to deal with, would gladly work with them again. The book is o.k., for a government book. ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-05-24 Summary: An excellent guide to calculus! ... I have recently completed my second semester of calculus, and this textbook was used for each class. I was quite impressed by it. It starts out simply enough with a unit on functions and gradually leads the student deeper into more advanced concepts, such as differentiation, integration, integration techniques, numerical series, and vector analysis. The book also includes a chapter giving an introduction to differential equations, and it contains several appendices dealing with trigonometry, logarithms, complex numbers, ...more

Multivariable Calculus (Stewart's Calculus Series)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-14 Summary: Great Calculus III book, NOT Early Transcendentals ... This is a great book for College Calculus 3. If your class requires the "Early Transcendentals" edition, this is essentially the same book. It contains the EXACT same material as the Early Transcendentals edition but everything is pushed ahead one chapter. It has the exact same amount of chapters and the exact same questions so don't fret, this book will work for your class. Also the new price on Amazon is usually cheaper than the used price in your university's bookstore! (Note that you most likely won't be able to ...more

[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-02-21 Summary: So far a very good text book ... I have been using this text book for a while. So far it's good to the concepts and examples. But I think it's better to have a whole one including 3 volumes inteads of buying them one buy one if you want to learn all the calculus courses. ...more

The Calculus Diaries: How Math Can Help You Lose Weight, Win in Vegas, and Survive a Zombie Apocalypse
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-08-29 Summary: Calculus for poets: a clear and simple guide to the world of calculus ... The Calculus Diaries, by Jennifer Oullette, is kind of a `physics for poets' take on higher mathematics. Rather than confuse her math-phobic readers with tortuous equations and cryptic mathematical symbols, Oulette tries to help us understand the germ of the mathematical idea. She outlines the basic concepts and explains how calculus might be as elegant as a sonnet or jaunty villanelle. As ridiculous as this may sound, Oulette can really pull this off. After reading this book you may not become a mathematical genius ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-25 Summary: It did something unbelievable.. ... This book caused my fourteen year old daughter to ask me to buy her some math books. She ASKED for math books. My first thought was that she had a table leg that needed propping up, but no, she wanted to read them, thanks to this book. I think the zombies and the reference to "losing weight" in the title sucked her in, but the writing kept her there. I'm ordering her a stack of books on calculus, physics, and trigonometry, at her request, this Friday. It doesn't work on everyone, my other daughter said "Mommy, promise ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-08-19 Summary: "Who'da" thought it calculus could be fun? ... I know, it sounds like a contradiction to say that a book about calculus is a fun read but this book really is. I don't know if I would go so far as to say that it's a book about calculus for non-mathematicians because some of the sections can be a bit challenging, but this isn't a text book and you're not required to memorize everything so it's reasonable to skip over or come back later to difficult sections. I'm not a mathematician but I could understand most of the theory discussed in this book and I enjoyed how ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-08-19 Summary: A book for trivia lovers. ... I was looking for a book that would inspire reluctant math students to be encouraged to give more of an effort to higher-level math. What I found was a book filled with a large amount of trivia. I found all of the history lessons to be quite interesting, but the book didn't do what I had thought it would. I taught math for over 20 years and it didn't inspire me! It has been over 40 years since I took calculus and it is true that if you don't use it, you lose it. Having a pretty good foundation in math, I thought I ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | Kiss My Math meets A Tour of the Calculus Jennifer Ouellette never took math in college, mostly because she-like most people-assumed that she wouldn't need it in real life. But then the English-major-turned-award-winning-science-writer had a change of heart and decided to revisit the equations and formulas that had haunted her for years. The Calculus Diaries is the fun and fascinating account of her year spent confronting her math phobia head on. With wit and verve, Ouellette shows how...more
