Calculus Essentials For Dummies

This booklet is an excellent review of the calculus. It covers just the very basics of differentiation & integration. It clearly explains the concept of limits, the difference quotient and the main rules for differentiation. Examples of maximum & minimum , position, velocity and acceleration are clearly explained. Approximating the area under a curve is very well explained. The fundamental theorem as well as trig substitution are covered.

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.

I got this so I could understand what my daughter is learning in high school. It has been a long time since I studied this sort of math and this book is clear and concise and very helpful.

My son attends one of the US Service Academies... He has used this book to help crystalize what he knows and fill in a few gaps. So far he reports having "aced" all his quizzes. We have yet to see how he does on his final, but if the quizzes are any indicator, he is on the right track. He sent me a photo of his desk on which he has a place for all his "Frequently used Reference Books." The "Calculus Essentials" and other essential books "For Dummies" are stacked neatly for easy access. Apparently his room mate uses them regularly, as well. Thanks for creating these books and making the shipping so easy.

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!

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 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'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.

Very very best book

Ok

Um bom livro em linguagem simples. Acessível.

Great book.

La entrega fue muy rapida a pesar de la distancia, y el producto tal como lo publicaron, Buen venderor se los recomiendo (y)
