Calculus Essentials For Dummies

This book was really helpful for me. I am taking Differential Equations right now and my Calculus I and II skills had gotten rusty. If you have already taken Calc I and II then this book will help you blow through what you have already learned, quickly. I would also recommend this to anyone who has yet to take Calc I or II. This book breaks things down into simple, human terms. I bought other Calculus for Dummy books and I am sure they are good too, but this thing gets you up to speed much faster. Hope this helps.

This is a great text for someone who has already had Calculus or as a review text for someone who is CURRENTLY taking a Calculus course. The writing is crisp and to the point without the baloney found in many of the modern glitzy tomes. I use it often to brush up on concepts that have long faded away. My suggestion would be to use this text as review material ALONG WITH a full fledged textbook like "Technical Calculus With Analytic Geometry" by Gersting.

I have downloaded a number of samples from the various Calculus books offered on Kindle, hoping to refresh my knowledge of Calculus. I took Calculus in college and did very well in it, but never understood what I was doing. That may sound strange, but I was able to conquer the abstract motions of solving problems without having a clue why and was able to get all "A"s through all of differentiation and integration problems. I wanted to finally find a book that could explain simply what all those exercise were about. This book does it nicely. None of the other Calculus books came close to explaining it in simple words with diagrams that made sense. I just wish it didn't call itself Calculus for Dummies. I don't think I am a dummy!?!

Game Changer. Chemistry Essentials + Chemistry + Chemistry Workbook (all “Dummies” series) took me from a struggling C student to being able to understand and master the abstract concepts of higher mathematics and sciences (I’ve done the same to prepare for Calculus and I’ve already scored my first A on a quiz in a Calc class /ever/. Having auditory processing issues and ADHD, being able to go back and review vital formulas, concept explanations, and step by step instructions is crucial - it seems so obvious that I was struggling before, relying on whatever notes I could just manage to copy in the 80 min class. I can’t recommend these books enough to anybody going back to school or jumping back into a class after a semester off — you don’t realize until it’s too late that you forget math very quickly without practice & repetition. “Dummies” really has it all!

I am a mathematics enthusiast and read many different books on calculus for pleasure. I was surprised at the ease of explanations of the subjects in this book. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to students and others seeking to have a grab of the subject in short period of time. This is the best $9 you spend and well worth it.

I bought this book because I was curious about Calculus. After taking Calculus in college I have come to the conclusion that this book while helpful is not even close in usefulness to a real Calculus textbook. In my course I covered more than this does and in a much better way.

I was a math major and my masters is math oriented. I helped my sister-in-law when she went back to college in 1987, but haven't used calculus since. This was a great refresher so that I could help my grandkids through their high school calculus. Great, quick refresher.I will say that I also purchased The Calculus Lifesaver by Adrian Banner in hard copy. It gives me a great reference for more complicated problems. This book just got me started and The Calculus Lifesaver keeps me going.

I'm very happy to find this e-book for my kindle. I always liked math before but could not understand it deep enough. This book is well written, easily readable, clear for everyone who just started to work with differentiation and integration and other higher level math stuff or at least interested in it. The only disappointing part is the quality of the images. The drawings, charts, pictures are stored in a very low resolution format, and if a text is also part of the image it cannot be read easily you have to refer to the explanatory text around it.So if you want to know what is calculus, differentiation, integration, function analysis this book is a good way to start.

Um bom livro em linguagem simples. Acessível.

Ok

Great book.

Very very best book
