Book Description

March 1995
Hurricane Calculus covers the full range of first year college calculus, from the concept of limits to the often complex partial derivatives and multiple integrals. It tells you in plain, simple terms what the basic calculus concepts are, provides you with step-by-step problem solving guidelines, and shows you plent of completely worked out examples.

Hurricane Calculus may be the most readable book ever written on the subject. There's very little of the mathematical jargon that often causes confusion. The book is full of examples drawn from actual real world applications. Its easy-going style is aimed directly at the reader who may be new to calculus or needs clarification.

Review

Don't anticipate the usual heady, confusing jargon in this book: examples drawn from real-life applications cover the first year of calculus, from basic concepts to multiple integrals. This approach - using real-life situations to apply calculus - makes much more sense than mere rote memorization of formulas, and assures a much deeper understanding of calculus. -- Midwest Book Review

5.0 out of 5 stars Well organized. Saves lots of frustration., September 2, 1999
This review is from: Hurricane Calculus: The New Approach to First Year Calculus (Paperback)
This is a great calculus book for the autodidact. I looked over Bittinger, the MIT text, and others, and Hurricane Calculus was by far the most oriented toward the reader who doesn't already know calculus. The only flaw in this book is the large number of proofreading errors (not an unusual feature in a modern math textbook), a few of which involve math errors. Hopefully a second edition will fix these problems.

5.0 out of 5 stars absolutely the best, March 10, 2000
This review is from: Hurricane Calculus: The New Approach to First Year Calculus (Paperback)
This book makes every step clear and simple, and understandable. Whereas other books tell you what to do, this book helps you understand WHY. I'm taking calc for a pre-MBA class, and we're covering a full semester in ten weeks. Even though we are breezing through chapters at a time, this book makes learning the math more than possible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Teaches math-phobics Calculus in a way they can understand!, July 15, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Hurricane Calculus: The New Approach to First Year Calculus (Paperback)
This text was a life-saver while I was taking Calculus. When my class text book would give confusing and convuluted expainations of various topics, I would turn to "Hurricane Calculus" and the topic would immediately become clear and understandable. Half of my class went out to purchase the book and all have found it incredibly useful.
