This is a great book for anyone who wants to learn or supplement his or her knowledge of the subject. I have used this book for my first year of college calculus and thanks to it I received an A, because of that I will continue to use it, it helps you understand the problems, but you actually have to think about them, you have to find out how equations are related and/or used, that is calculus, Calculus involves thinking if it didn't then anyone could be a physicist.

This is another in the Schaum's series that is excellent for review, good as a supplement and almost impossible to use as a stand-alone learning tool. The problems are all suitable for the (re)study of differential and integral calculus, they are worked out in enough detail and the coverage of two semesters of calculus is essentially complete. If you have taken calculus and did well in the course, then there is no better way to perform a quick brushing up of your skills. Other than that, using this book is problematical.

Es un libro excelente, que presenta en cada capítulo, una breve introducción teórica con los puntos más resaltantes y una cantidad de problemas resueltos de buen nivel de dificultad. Recomiendo a aquellas personas que se inician en el estudio del Calculo Infinitesimal

As I will be starting undergra engineering this fall(sept 00), I bought this book because I thought it would be a good supplement to my regular upper level calculus book from my senior year and thought it would be of some use in university. I really found this book to be a dissapointment(as well as shaums 3000 solved problems in calculus). The way the material is presented is not clear at all. The problem solutions are hardly presented in a way in which the reader can understand and learn from them. They just confuse the reader even more. As I have found with all Schaum's outlines and solved problems books, they are of poor quality and of no real use to anyone. Try Harcourt Brace Jovonovich calculus (search HBJ Calculus). It is much better
