2.0 out of 5 stars Wordy, without teaching ability to use calculus
I own about two dozen separate courses of "The Great Courses" (from The Teaching Company) and rave about many of them. But this calculus course is one of my LEAST favorites. It does NOT prepare you to use calculus. It will NOT help you sit down and solve calculus problems.

Far superior is "The Calculus 1 & 2 Tutor: 8 Hour Video Course!". I learned more...

This review is from: Change and Motion: Calculus Made Clear, 2nd Edition Part 1 (The Great Courses) (DVD)
I own about two dozen separate courses of "The Great Courses" (from The Teaching Company) and rave about many of them. But this calculus course is one of my LEAST favorites. It does NOT prepare you to use calculus. It will NOT help you sit down and solve calculus problems.

Far superior is "The Calculus 1 & 2 Tutor: 8 Hour Video Course!". I learned more after watching just the first 3 sections (out of 25 total) of it than I did after viewing the entire "Change and Motion: Calculus Made Clear" course. And, "The Calculus 1 & 2 Tutor" is less expensive.

I wrote to them for details about the product and they were honest. I got a good product at a really good price. Good people!

2.0 out of 5 stars Very basic and does not teach any useful need for Calculus, September 30, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Change and Motion: Calculus Made Clear, 2nd Edition Part 1 (The Great Courses) (DVD)
This teaches what derivative and integral are, but little more. It just doesn't prove to me that calculus can do anything that advanced algebra can't. That is what I hoped it could do because I dropped calculus in college and always wondered if I had missed out on something really terrific. Guess not!
