Help for the stymied

Bought this for daughter in college calculus cursed with bad prof and bad TA. It made a big difference. The book explains well and is another resource along with the (lame) textbook. Being a workbook, it has problems to solve. It'll be a helpful adjunct to any calculus text you use.

Perfect Dummy Book Companion

I got this workbook to go with the Dummies Calculus book as a suplement to my classes. It really helps to have additional problem made for you for practice. It has helped me study for tests countless times!

Calculus

Great book helped me through a mid-term when the teacher had lost me and most of the class. so good classmates wanted to borrow it.

Good Practice for Beginning Calculus!

This workbook is an excellent companion to Ryan's book _Calculus for Dummies_. In fact I might go so far as to say the two should be considered one volume. In this book you'll find the extra exercises and problems that may not have been copious enough in the _Calculus for Dummies_ book alone. And of course he also walks you through the solutions. I might have wished for more problems instead of the space to actually work them in the text, but that is a minor detail. Overall this is part of a set that serves as an excellent introduction / preview / study aide to beginning calculus. Although I suppose this work could be used alone by someone just wanting to brush up on their calculus via some worked problems. Either way its a good buy.

Calculus Workbook for Dummies

I think this book is very informative and provides for a clear understanding of fundamental Calculus that ordinary text books just cannot compete with.
