5.0 out of 5 stars Hard to find a better study guide, September 28, 2001
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 3,000 Solved Problems in Calculus (Paperback)
When you get down to it, the fact is that seeing a problem done is always better than being lectured on methodology. You won't find a better compilation of problem solutions than those in this book. I would recommend that anyone in Calc I or II get this as a supplement, because it could very well save your butt. As far as I can tell, it covers all the topics in my enormous textbook. There was a solutions guide available for the text, but it [isn't good] in comparison to this. Don't waste your money on other 'do it yourself' calculus books, this is all you need.

4.0 out of 5 stars Saved my life (and my grade), September 29, 2004
When enrolled in AP Calculus AB in high school, I found myself struggling. Often, even after understanding a concept, I would have difficulty doing the problems in the homework. I found that the example problems we did in class and in the book were often insufficient and I often wished for more example problems. This book was extremely helpful because it is nothing but example problems, and so it was perfect for me. It is a great resource for reinforcing concepts learned in class, helping with homework, studying for tests, etc.

I am, however, compelled to agree with the reviewer that more detailed explanations of the problems could have been helpful in many cases (this is why I gave this book 4 stars instead of 5). I would, however, still recommend this book to anyone taking calculus. In some cases, the fact that they don't explain the problems is good because it forces you to "work through" the problems and figure out why they did each step and what each step was doing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Use with Calc 1-2, October 6, 2005
By 
Greg Schreiter "gregy55902" (Rochester, Minnesota United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 3,000 Solved Problems in Calculus (Paperback)
The title says it all. It is a great resource for problems in calc 1 and 2. I used it because my book (Stewart) lacked sufficient example problems, and this book is basically all example problems. After you get the basics of the problem down after a while, you can work through the problems on your own, and it is very convenient that the answers are right there on the same page.

The shortfall of this book is lack of material relating to calc 3. For a different supplement, I recommend schaum's Vector Analysis, written by Spiegel.

Overall, this book is pretty good. Worth the money if you are struggling and need more examples, or if you would like a challenge because your class is boring you to death.
