5.0 out of 5 stars A calculus book anyone can learn from, May 17, 2008
This review is from: Master the AP Calculus AB & BC, 2nd Edition (Peterson's Ap Calculus) (Paperback)
This book was incredible.

The reasons I loved this book:
1.) The layout is perfect
2.) It was actually very funny reading this book.
3.) Even the hardest calculus concept were explained in a very simple manner.

I am very confident I got a 4 or 5 on the AP calculus exam because having this book along with studying the free response questions from old ap exams. Reading this book was extremely helpful, especially in the beginning learning the fundamentals of calculus.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect book to study calculus, December 20, 2007
This review is from: Master the AP Calculus AB & BC, 2nd Edition (Peterson's Ap Calculus) (Paperback)
I was too tired of pre-calc class, so i decided to self-taught calculus.

I was unsure if i can understand calculus from study guide like this

but this book is amazing.

With humorous notes, it gives clear discriptions and reasonalbe explanations.

I definately recommand this book to self-taught or to review calculus

5.0 out of 5 stars THE CALCULUS GUIDE TO YOUR LIFE, July 14, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Master the AP Calculus AB & BC, 2nd Edition (Peterson's Ap Calculus) (Paperback)
Seriously. I GOT A 4 ON THE CALCULUS EXAM :D

There are some minor erros in this book as others have pointed out but overall if you are good at math, this book is very comprehensive and clear-cut.

It is also humorous.

It reviews all the concepts very well and after this, the multiple choice on the exam is so easy!

Although, the free-response isn't practiced as much in here.

My suggestion: Get this book and use it throughout the year and then rereview major concepts before the exam. Print out the free-response questions on the collegeboard site and practice with them.

I wish I had gotten a 5 but I know I probably would have gotten a 3 without this book. If I had started reviewing like 4 weeks earlier instead of 2 weeks earlier, I could have probably absorbed the information better as well :D
