5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, September 16, 2003

This review is from: Calculus Problem Solver (Problem Solvers Solution Guides) (Paperback)

I was recently offered a high school teaching job, so I needed to brush up on my calc, and this book did the trick. Unlike other books, this one "teaches by example". I always found that too many college professors & textbooks spend too much time trying to "explain" the concept. My experience has been to skip the lecture part, do the problems, and in doing so, the concept will come to you. The fact that the problems are all solved in detail is also a plus. A lot of texts simply list the answer to the problem, so you're often left wondering how they got it. This won't be an issue with this text.

Even if you understand the principles, the handful of problems in the average textbook are too few to really drill you on the procedures. It's a little like the difference between understanding some music theory and being able to play an instrument. Practice, for those of us who are not math prodigies, is essential. If you are willing to put in the hours and hours, this hugh collection of solved problems is well worth the price.

This review is from: Calculus Problem Solver (Problem Solvers Solution Guides) (Paperback)

I have been out of college for 7 years. I began Grad school last quarter. This book gave me the basic steps to relearn and remember Calculus. It takes you through each kind of problem without skipping steps or assuming you already know what you are doing. A big crutch for understanding single and multivariable calculus. -I passed the placement exam and then used the book to assist in other engineering classes.
