Book Reviews of Calculus for Dummies
Book Review: get this book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was lost in calculus here at Babson College and sinking fast. Nothing the teacher said made any sense. So I took a chance with Calculus for Dummies and it paid off! it's absolutely amazing. Concepts I couldn't even begin to understand in class and from the assigned book were explained so clearly and made it overall seem easy.
He also makes calculus seem easy through sarcasm which takes away some of the fears associated with calculus and I think that works wonders by appealing to your subconscious.
I highly recommend this book to EVERYONE learning calculus!
EDIT: I got my calculus 2nd exam score today. I went from being hopelessly lost 3 days before the test, and after a little studying of this book, I ended up with an 86 on the exam with a class average of 75! The proof is in the numbers. Do not miss out on this book.
Summary of Calculus for Dummies
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 this 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 trig. It builds upon and is a logical extension of those subjects. If you can do algebra, geometry, and trig, you can do calculus.
Calculus For Dummies is intended for three groups of readers:
This is a user-friendly math book. Whenever possible, the author explains the calculus concepts by showing you connections between the calculus ideas and easier ideas from algebra and geometry. Then, you'll see how the calculus concepts work in concrete examples. All explanations are in plain English, not math-speak. Calculus For Dummies covers the following topics and more:
Don't buy the misconception. Sure calculus is difficult?-?but it's manageable, doable. You made it through algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. Well, calculus just picks up where they leave off?-?it's simply the next step in a logical progression.
