Jonathan B. 4.0 out of 5 stars It is grueling to knock out calculus over a regular-length semester..really tough doing it in 4 weeks. I ordered this book and she said the book was probably the primary secret to her success in the course.http://www.riskovik.com/upload/file/carb-manual-choke.xml She said the book really helped her understand the overall concepts.which weren't necessarily taught well by her instructor.It will present the formulas to you as you see them in the text book, then tries to actually explain what they mean (unlike a lot of textbooks) and give examples of how to apply them. The authors try to give a blend of real life and humorous examples as opposed to the formal ones you are going to get in a textbook. A word of caution though. While it does go in to some of the integration techniques, and goes through the technical definition of the integral, it omits things like the disk and washer method for finding volumes using integrals, which are some of the trickiest material in Calc II. Ultimately whether you are going to learn well from this will depend on your learning style. Some people need the interaction with a tutor, some can watch recorded lectures (if that is you I suggest Jason Gibson's math tutor DVD series which you can find on here) and some can learn from a book. In that way how useful this will be for you is subjective. I can tell you that I found it very useful for the information it does cover, and found the explanations better than what was in my textbook. It is not a problems repository though. If you are looking for a book with just a lot of solved problems this will not be for you.On the one hand, you're never gonna laugh as hard (or at all, even) with any other book on the subject of calculus. It's as non-threatening and light an introduction on the matter as possible, and gives some good insights too. However, you shouldn't expect to ace anything with this volume alone, which means it fails to deliver its premise, and I should only give it three stars. Still, it was a very fun read, and for that I'll give it four. Why can't you ace anything with this. Well, it has too few examples, no exercises, and actually fails to give you some essential pointers that Calculus for Dummies does give.http://www.raumboerse-luzern.ch/mieten/bosch-oven-cleaning-manual Sometimes, it feels as if the humor got in the way of the actual teaching. On the other hand, it's fun enough to be read for the sake of reading it, which might coax even the laziest student out there to actually try and learn something;)It does a very good job of putting Calculus in reach of those who are not strong in math. Especially high school students and adult learners. Calculus textbooks are not very student friendly, there are a few which are, but most are not. This book provides an entertaining overview of the various topics. In some cases they use exactly the same metaphors that are used in most Calculus books; however, they are more engaging. I don't totally agree this will help you ace Calculus, but it will help the student who is lost or can't seem to click with the textbooks. There are several elements that would make the superb. Like exercises for the student, and more worked examples. They do provide alot of good advice on areas that will hurt you on a test. The one thing I wish they did was provided coverage of some precalc issues. They touch on it briefly in the beginning of the book, but it would be more useful if they iterated through all of the common algebra issues. ( alot of the Calculus helper books do this, and it is very helpful ). This book is not for someone who understands the concepts, but simply has issues with solving the exercises. For that I would choose something else that is more instructive and has exercises. ( like Gootman or Klien ).This is a very good book that helps explain things in very simple terms. As an engineer out of college for several years, I periodically refer back to this book to help grasp conceptual stuff that I have forgotten when I do not work calculus problems every day. The book does delve into details as well, though not too deeply.This book is amazing. After having previously buying a disappointing DVD on Calculus, I had to find another source to supplement, and cover the ideas of Calculus.http://hamlettocarinas.com/images/c-12v-operators-manual.pdf I found this book was extremely easy to reader and covers all concepts that you are likely to run into in your Calculus 1 and 2 classes. And best part is this book is very cheap compare to others out there yet it has concise and humorous explanations. I enjoy this book so much that it almost doesn't feel much like studying when reading it, yet I am better able to understand Calculus after each section. This book is definitely a keeper and maybe I'll even sell back my Calculus 1 and 2 textbooks to get some of my college money back. Good luck in your Calculus adventure.The chapters are short and easy to digest. The writing is clear and the problems show you how to tackle a problem step by step. From there, they go on to typical problems you'd see in a calc course. The book is well-written and--dare I say this about a math book?--funny. Oh, if only I had had this book when I tackled calc the first time around!I started reading it before the semester began and was able to use it to stay ahead of the instructor. It made everyday seem like review and it was so on point with the lecture that the instructor could have been teaching from it. I struggled with precalc and easily got an A in calc 1 due in large part to this book. Very easy to read and understand. Plenty of examples. I wish they had books like this for all of the hard sciences.At the same time it still manages to dive deep into the subject of Calculus and rewards the reader with a sound theoretical underpinning and non-superficial appreciation of the topic. The problem with most calculus books is the wade straight into the deep water and scare the new learner, also they are completely unsympathetic towards common mental block and difficulties which virtually every new student encounters, The authors adopt a radically different approach by presenting topics in the easiest way to learn using mnemonics, mental imagery and jokes to help you along the journey and progress quickly.https://counterreaction.net/wp-content/plugins/formcraft/file-upload/server/content/files/16299a865199de---cooper-106-manual.pdf This book will really help you ace calculus,butiIt is quite difficult to find in bookshops, so get your copy from Amazon now1The best source would be your friend or teacher explaining it to you personally. Gets you familiarized with concepts, not that kind of book where you get to solve a problem just by looking at an example. Finally as said in book, to master calculus one has to practice it as much as one can. Say, spend time practicing on problems ten times the time spent on reading this book.Great book!The grade 12 Calculus course I took was called Calculus and Vectors. This books covers nothing about vectors. Vectors was the unit I had issues with, and this book covers nothing about it. I got an 83 my 2nd time taking the course, but not from the help of this book. My fault for buying the wrong book. A supplement for any type of calculus text. You made it through the first term of calculus. Now the fun really begins. It's short, it's funny, and it reveals the secrets of the calculus guild. You made it through the first term of calculus. Now the fun really begins.Condition: new. Book is in NEW condition.

This book doesn't repeat all of the advice of the first book on how to pick your instructor, how to study, etc.alisawedding.com/upload/users/files/canon-580ex-ii-manual-slave-mode.pdf Instead this book is devoted to the specific topics of the rest of calculus. If Fifi (she's a poodle, although I guess that's obvious from the name) exerts a force of 2 newtons on the leash, and the leash is at an angle of 45 degrees from the ground, how much work does Fifi do? Your roommate is standing on the ground at a point 14 feet 4 inches in the x-direction and 10 feet 9 inches in the y-direction from the corner of the building. Determine if your cheese will hit him. The book also points out common mistakes that students make, which your instructor may not point out in lecture. These sheets contain all the important formulas. You can cut the sheets out of the book and use them as a reference guide and study sheet, a useful tool for you slackers (you know who you are) who cram for the Calculus Exam the night before. It would be a good resource book to add a little spice and humor to your lectures. The only negative comment I have is that the book didn't cover volumes and surfaces of revolution.

Thank you!This is a very good book that helps explain things in very simple terms. As an engineer out of college for several years, I periodically refer back to this book to help grasp conceptual stuff that I have forgotten when I do not work calculus problems every day. The book does delve into details as well, though not too deeply.From experience. instructors can make or break a class. Funny, lively, experienced instructors can take what can be presented in an almost hypnotically droning incomprehensible fashion into an enjoyable experience, sort of like this book. This book takes alot of important concepts and presents it in a very rereadable fashion. If you haven't taken differential and intergal calculus this book wouldn't be very helpful and probably confusing. Since most texts are extremely expensive, if you can buy them, books like these are convenient for review and study.I'm a review book junkie for all sorts of subjects, so I had to get this now that I'm in Calc 3.https://constructionone.com.br/wp-content/plugins/formcraft/file-upload/server/content/files/16299a87ba0793---cooper-4c-recloser-manual.pdf I think the explanations and examples are wonderful, and helpful. The book is easy to read, so it shouldn't bore you. It's also very concise, so it doesn't just gloss over topics. The explanations are rather thorough, and I love the summation at the back of the book of step-by-step guides to how to solve various types of problems mentioned in the book. I would highly recommend this book!Especially helpful were the sections on Green's Theorem and the stuff that comes last in your calculus text, using integral-differential formulas to determine fields. Of course, if you want to really understand multivariable calculus, you need to take a few upper level undergraduate physics classes. This stuff was invented by physicists for physics so it really doesn't make sense taken out of context in a generic math class. I was an expert after the physics classes, but this book helped too.Amazon et COVID-19 Voir ou suivre vos commandes Tarifs et options de livraison Amazon Prime Retours et remplacements Recyclage (y compris les equipements electriques et electroniques) Infos sur notre Marketplace Application Amazon Mobile Amazon Assistant Service Client Accessibilite.

Read More Mathematics All categories Publisher: Macmillan Publishers Released: Oct 6, 2015 ISBN: 9781627798853 Format: Book Adams received his undergraduate degree from MIT and his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin. He had held various grants for research in the area of knot theory and low-dimensional topology and has published numerous research articles. Adams also served as MAA Polya Lecturer (1998-2000), and as Sigma Xi Distinguished Lecturer (2000-2002). This book is directed at calculus students who have better things to do with their time than read wordy preambles that won’t be on the exam. But just in case you haven’t actually bought this book yet and are considering a purchase while flipping through the pages in a bookstore, we’ll tell you what it’s all about. If you want to know the tricks of the trade that will make learning the material of first-semester calculus a piece of cake, then this is the book for you. If you want to learn lots of cool things while having a good time, then this is the book for you. If you want to carry around a book that makes people think you are surfing the wave of knowledge, then this is the book for you. Do you remember being in a class and being hopelessly confused. Perhaps your attention wandered at some important moment, or the lecturer thoughtlessly slipped into ancient Greek when explaining the basic idea. After class, you asked your brainy friend over a cup of coffee, What was going on in that class. Your friend explained it all in five minutes flat and made it crystal clear. Oh, you said, is that all there is to it. Why didn’t they just say that in the first place. Later, you wished that friend was around to explain all the lectures to you. This book aims to play the role of your friend. It gives informal explanations of the key topics of calculus, getting across the ideas without the technical details and fine print that would be found in a formal text. This book does not substitute for a calculus textbook, but it should make it much easier to figure out what the textbook is talking about. If you approach it with the right point of view, learning calculus can be not only a mind-expanding experience but also fantastic fun, just about as good as something not involving whipped cream and maraschino cherries can get. This book is going to tell you how calculus is taught, how to get the best teachers, what to study, and what is likely to be on exams. This is the stuff we wish we’d known when we had to take calculus. So, enough stalling. Why don’t you go up to that nice cashier, plunk down some money and buy this book, and we can talk more after. CHAPTER 2 Exactly Who and What Is Your Instructor? 2.1 Choosing an instructor Here we give a brief introduction to mathematicians, their pecking order, and their identifying characteristics.You need to know enough distinguishing features to say, Ah, a yellow-bellied sapsucker with conviction. Choosing the best instructor is the single decision most likely to determine whether your calculus experience will be a series of intellectual delights or whether you schedule dental appointments during calculus lectures because they are less painful. You can often figure out the specifics about your instructors by looking at their doors. Generally a small sign will be posted containing some clue to the instructor’s official title. There are several possibilities: A. Permanent faculty, tenured (sign on door says Professor or Associate Professor). Tenured means that they cannot be fired, even if they are grossly incompetent. Associate Professors are a rung below Professors. Sometimes this is because they are at an earlier stage in their career, sometimes because their career stalled after they were discovered hiding in the chimney of the dean’s apartment. B. Permanent faculty, untenured (sign on door says Assistant Professor). These people can be fired, but if they are, it will not be for reasons related to their ability to teach calculus. In Europe, Assistant Professors really are assistants, whose job is to mow the Professor’s lawn, carry the Professor’s briefcase, and teach the Professor’s class. In the United States, the Assistant title just means that they are in the preliminary, untenured stage of their career. C. Visitors (sign on door says Visiting Professor, or Visiting Assistant Professor). Visiting means that their welcome is due to expire at the end of one or two years. It does not necessarily mean that they have anywhere to go afterward. D. Temporary faculty (sign on door says: Lecturer or Instructor or Adjunct Professor). Some colleges hire temporary faculty mainly to teach classes. This may mean that they really care about their teaching. E. Graduate students (sign on door just gives their name, with no title, or has some pseudo-title like Adjunct Instructor). F. No sign on door: A very bad omen. It may mean that the instructor is too disorganized to post a sign or that revengeful former students keep ripping it down. Perhaps the instructor is trying to avoid previous generations of students. Investigate further. G. No door: Danger, danger. Could mean that the instructor is deemed unworthy of an office. This makes it hard to hold office hours. Also could mean that you’re looking in the wrong building. Almost everyone in categories A, B, C, and D has a Ph.D. Permanent faculty members, with their ranks, should be listed in the course catalog, where you can look them up. At large universities, permanent faculty are usually either the people who do research in really high-level mathematics or the people who have been around forever and control the math department political machine. Sometimes the best teachers are found in this group. The worst teachers are often found here. These faculty will be teaching all the advanced mathematics courses, as well as calculus. Some find teaching calculus a chore, an obligation that must be tolerated in order for them to be able to do their research. Others truly enjoy it. At many smaller institutions, the faculty aren’t expected to do much research. Instead, the emphasis is on teaching, and you will find many faculty members who put a tremendous amount of time and thought into their teaching. This sometimes translates into better teachers. It is also true that professors at such schools often have to teach two to three times as many classes as their counterparts at the research universities. So, although they are not distracted by their attempts to prove that the convex core of a hyperbolic 3-manifold is compact, they are often distracted by the demands of hundreds of students they are teaching in a given semester in four different classes. Distinguishing between categories C (visitors) and D (temporary faculty) is tricky but can be important. Some visiting faculty members are on sabbatical or on leave from their real home somewhere else. They may be visiting a colleague at your university, or perhaps your campus is located near a good surfing spot. They will return home at the end of the year, blissfully unconcerned with the eviscerating essay you turned in on your student evaluation. Pleasing the students ranks about 1.5 on a scale of 100 for these faculty. On the other hand, you can sometimes stumble across a real gem here, someone who comes from a campus where teaching is job one. Other visiting faculty may be new faculty who have just finished their Ph.D.s and are currently teaching their first class. They may have some title like Visiting Assistant Professor or something with the word postdoc in it. Their main concerns are their research and getting another job the following year. They can’t totally blow off teaching if they want to get another job, and though they usually try to do a good job, their teaching abilities vary wildly. Lecturers and temporary instructors are usually hired on a year-to-year basis, primarily to teach. Whether their job is renewed at the end of their contract probably depends heavily on their teaching skills. Their future meals may depend on their student evaluations. Pleasing the students is extremely important to them. If your instructor has been at the university for more than a year and does not have a title containing the word professor, the instructor is probably temporary. These instructors usually teach only calculus and precalculus classes, and if they have been around for awhile, it’s very likely they do a superb job. If not, they may be related to the department chair. Graduate students can be great instructors, but they usually don’t have much experience. Their teaching ability is all over the map, from very high to very low. One problem with graduate students is that it’s hard to get anything past them. They remember taking calculus all too well. Some graduate students do have years and years of experience—their minds were addled in the 1960s, and they’ve been in graduate school ever since. You can usually spot these people by their snarly gray hair, slurred speech, and the ratty ponchos they wear when it rains. In most cases grad students have little in the way of a teaching track record for you to research. Your best strategy with them is to attend the first class or two, and if it looks disastrous, hightail it out of there. Often, professional status correlates with amount of office space—if all else fails, you can deduce the status of an instructor by checking out the office. Estimate its square footage and divide by the number of names on the door. Add the floor number and multiply by ?1 if there are no windows. The bigger the resulting number, the more important your instructor is in the departmental hierarchy. There are, of course, many exceptions to these wild generalizations. We’ve known visiting professors who are dedicated and brilliant teachers, and tenured faculty members who devote their lives to their students. Fortunately, there’s a more accurate and quite easy way to find out who the brilliant lecturers are. Trade Secret To find out who the best lecturers are: Ask. Everyone around the department knows the good teachers. Try dropping in on a couple of faculty members and ask them. Try the younger ones; they don’t know enough to mislead you. The secretaries will know who generates waiting lists and who generates a lot of dropped classes and incompletes. The graduate students will know. If there is a math club, its members will be dying to talk to you about this. (Get an excuse ready so you can leave after 10 minutes. They will be prepared to discuss it all afternoon.) Some colleges publish student reviews of instructor performance. You (or your parents or the taxpayers) are paying a fortune for four years of college. Shell out a few bucks if necessary and take the time to help make the difference between enlightenment and boredom. Trade Secret To find the best instructor: Go to several classes and stay with the best. In large universities you may have a choice of five or ten different classes in the same subject. In smaller places, hope that teaching is taken seriously. By asking around you should be able to find two or three likely candidates who do a great job. Try them out. Given a choice, why not pick the best instructor.
