 Amazing October 28, 2008

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 the problem when my teacher's examples didn't help. There were a couple of nights before a big test when I would read this book to cram and actually came away having learned more than in class (given, I'm not the best in class student, especially when it comes to math).

This is horrible it doesn't explain the answers in a step by step process. It is good for summaries of chapters in a high school or college level calculus book .
 Way to go! August 18, 2008
This book really makes me want to learn Calculus 2.After reading it, I find myself going back to my Calculus textbook for a deeper understanding. The explanations are very clear, humorous and to the point. I even ordered their "How to ace the rest of Calculus". I like the way they explain the derivative as being the slope of the tangent line. I enjoyed that book and I recommend it to anyone who may still hesitate to take a Calculus class.. Bravo!

I teach Calculus at the high school level and was very impressed with this book. I recommend it for my students as a supplement. It explains the concepts in "real words" and helps some of them understand. Also, additional examples that are well explained.
 Not the quality of calculus study aid I had expected... November 10, 2007

...given the mostly glowing reviews. Don't expect miracles from this guide. Nothing particularly enlightening in its contents, if you had stayed awake during classes....
