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

[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

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

Calculus Made Easy
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-14 Summary: good book ... Just a quick review. This book can really explain things easier than what my text book does. Though some pages of the book are cut off a bit but not really a big problem. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-11-01 Summary: Clear and succinct, but not easy ... I like math and am a B or B-plus in aptitude; I think I am this book's audience. For me, it has been excellent, but for someone who struggles with math, it might not be as good. The book keeps the new ideas of calculus short and simple (in particular by leaving out the idea of a limit). But it does expect you to be clever with the algebra you already know. The problems ask you to extend what was discussed, not merely to repeat it. As Gardner says, traditional calculus textbooks must include every possible topic, so ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-10-30 Summary: Highly recommend 'Calculus Made Easy' for learning on your own ... Hello! Silvanus Thompson wrote an excellent book. I can see why this is a classic. He does a really good job of explaining calculus in a language that is both simple and understandable. However, I do have an issue with this edition. It is in deplorable shape concerning the format of the text -- pages are out of order, words are missing, and sometimes the text encroaches on the inner margin so far that it is hard to read (you have to open the book really wide). Overall, I give Silvanus Thompson an 'A+' for making a ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-10-11 Summary: How does this follow? ... I love this book, at least up to the bottom of page 23 (I just purchased the second edition from Amazon). There are two equations at the bottom of the page. Let's call them equation 1 and equation 2. Equation 2, the one at the bottom of the page, is supposed to be a restatement of equation 1. I cannot figure out how the author gets from 1 to 2. It seems to me that equation 2 should read [(x)e-2][(1+2dx/x)e-1].Can anyone help me with this? Thanks, Phil M. ...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
