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.

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!

Best accompanied with Calculus for Dummies.Excellent workbook. It explains all the steps to solve a problem. If you're stuck or need to check your answer, flip a few pages ahead and bam, the answers and steps fully explained. It plays some tricks on you though, for example, if you did not memorize the things it tells you, it ends up in the work problems and you'll spend five minutes on it before giving up and going to the answer page only to see "gotcha! memorize this".

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.

I used this book to brush up on my Calculus before the CSET, however this book was only a gloss over of what Calculus really is. This book is more about memorizing techniques and methods, than learning what Calculus really means and represents. I have my BA in Math and would only recommend this book to people who have substantial background in math, but need to brush up on the concepts.

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.

If you purchase "Calculus for Dummies" you should purchase this workbook also. The "Calculus for Dummies" book does not have many problems to work through so you'll want this book to get some practice.

This helped explain a little more but I still could not grasp calculus all together, must just be me. I know without it though I would not have passed the class, even if it was a low grade.

I am going back to take Calculus 3 in the spring and this has been a great refresher. Very well presented in easy to understand terms and full of good practice questions. Make sure you get the accompanying Calculus For Dummies book too. They work rather well together. Enjoy.

The book was received in good condition and in an acceptable timeframe. I like Mark Ryan's approach and style of explaining the subject.
