4.0 out of 5 stars Good for quick review; you still need to do homework., November 7, 2003

By	Zain (Irvine, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This book should help you in reviewing your notes that you took in class. As the title of the book suggests, this is a crash course for general calculus.

Figures and graphs in the book should help you understand many different problems and how their solutions are derived. You should expect to solve many of the problems in the book yourself, on paper, also. That is the only way to understand mathematics; by doing it yourself. This book should help you get started in the right direction because of the ample examples present in it.

Do not expect to get rid your other calculus books and use this as the sole text for reviewing Calculus. This book is meant to be a companion to your other calculus textbooks, not their replacement. As good as it may be, you still need detailed explaination of rules and theories about Calculus, which are not explained in this book.
