Calculus: 1001 Practice Problems For Dummies (+ Free Online Practice)

great

Seeing as the way one gets good at Math (including Calculus) is a LOT of practice, this book is perfect!I should say that one would probably benefit from pairing this purchase with a few other Calculus Books just for good measure. The other books could focus more on the theory and this would focus on practice.

Good book.

My child is currently in IB math standard level and this book has helped so much to grasp the basics and build upon a solid foundation. Don't be fooled by the title of your child is a good self - learner I highly recommend this and others in the series.

The book was a great review and actually helped to explain lower level math like I have never known before.I highly recommend it for both high school and college students. I aced my calculus course in college, but could have struggled a lot less if I had gone through this book during the course because the professors never explain in this type of detail. The book actually assumes you know nothing for every problem and walks you through every single step, even if it just basic addition. That was the part that helped the most because in nearly every math class I have ever taken, people fail not because they do not grasp the concepts, but because the professors didn't care to explain how and why they achieved the basic results in each step.My professors would simplify steps and solutions without any explanation (the course textbooks as well), but this dummies book takes out the guessing work for all of that and then some.For example, my calc 1 professor wrote L'Hopital's Rule on the board, talked about it, showed an example with letters, and then just threw it on the exam built into another problem. Most concepts in math classes are taught like this and then nearly the entire class fails because you are left to learn it during the exam, which is impossible. This book will prevent that from happening and will literally get you passing with excellent scores in no time, I'm not kidding.
