Editorial Review: Product Description: Written by three gifted—and funny—teachers, How to Ace Calculus provides humorous and readable explanations of the key topics of calculus without the technical details and fine print that would be found in a more formal text. Capturing the tone of students exchanging ideas among themselves, this unique guide also explains how calculus is taught, how to get the best teachers, what to study, and what is likely to be on exams—all the tricks of the trade that will make learning the material of first-semester calculus a piece of cake. Funny, irreverent, and flexible, How to Ace Calculus shows why learning calculus can be not only a mind-expanding experience but also fantastic fun. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - AmazingThis book was amazing. After failing calculus, I decided I needed some extra help other than just the assigned book. I tried the "Calculus for Dummies" book, as well as this (a friend loaned it to me), and this book was by far the biggest help. If you're having trouble with calculus, or are planning to take calculus, try to find this book. This book puts forth great information in an amusing manner that doesn't detract from the material (in my opinion, others may vary). Some of the jokes ...

Rating:  - Way to go!This book really makes me want to learn Calculus 2.After reading it, I find myself going back to my Calculus textbook for a deeper understanding. The explanations are very clear, humorous and to the point. I even ordered their "How to ace the rest of Calculus". I like the way they explain the derivative as being the slope of the tangent line. I enjoyed that book and I recommend it to anyone who may still hesitate to take a Calculus class.. Bravo! Rating: - Teacher recommendsI teach Calculus at the high school level and was very impressed with this book. I recommend it for my students as a supplement. It explains the concepts in "real words" and helps some of them understand. Also, additional examples that are well explained. Rating:  - Not the quality of calculus study aid I had expected......given the mostly glowing reviews. Don't expect miracles from this guide. Nothing particularly enlightening in its contents, if you had stayed awake during classes.... Browse for similar items by category:
