Book Reviews of Calculus For Dummies
Book Review: Instructor recommended it after seeing a copy.
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter and her study partner are constanly refering to Calculus for Dummies because they don't understand what their expensive text book says. They brought it into class and showed it to another student who now plans on buying one. The professor saw this, looked at the book, and said it could be helpful to the whole class. This is the second book I have bought in the for Dummies series, and I now look for them.Book Review: Great Explanations
Summary: 5 Stars
I am taking Calculus I after having an 8 year gap in my education. I haven't had math in about 9 years and this book really saves the day. Forget about the explanations in your text book - this explains it in plain English! Plus a handy refresher section for all those algebraic things you may have forgotten. I keep it open during class lecture becuase Mark explains it just that better. I'm getting an A so far!Book Review: The best Calculus book written yet!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book, unlike all other books, doesn't just fill up pages. This book teaches in simple English that anyone can understand. This is the perfect book if one is trying to learn the Calculus course by themself. Another great part about this book is the way that he expresses himself. If for whatever reason, you don't find math the most exciting subject, this book will not bore you. His humor brings you along!Book Review: Well - written, well - taught, well worth it!
Summary: 5 Stars
Mark Ryan does a masterful job at presenting complex ideas in an intelligent but highly accessible manner. His light humor is motivating, particularly where the going gets a little rough. His relaxed, clear teaching style reduced my anxiety, making it possible for me to really learn the point of what basic calculus is about. His explanation of integration is the best I've seen anywhere. Bravo, Mark!Book Review: Bone up on your algebra/geometry/trig first...
Summary: 5 Stars
For a geezer like me who's been away from math an infinity+ (pun intended), I'd recommend checking out the prereq Dummies book first. But, once you do, Calculus For Dummies and the accompanying workbook are a fun adventure thanks to the author's merciful and witty style. Just don't leave these two volumes lying on your coffee table unless you wish to impress company with your nerdiness !
