Book Reviews of Calculus Made Easy
Book Review: Calculus Lite
Summary: 3 Stars
The important thing to remember about this book is that it is calculus made easy - because it's easy calculus! It probably is not going to help you figure out problem # 64 in your 10 lb, 1000 page monster text. The other reviewers have noted that it does present basic concepts in an easy to understand format and it is useful for getting down those basics. But the problems tend to be the easy drill type found in the beginning of problem sets and there is a vast amount of material that is simply not covered. This book is probably more useful for the 'soft calculus' type of course. So if you really want to learn limits, the Fundamental Theorem, etc., go back and sweat the monster text.
