Book Reviews of Calculus (Cliffs Quick Review)
Book Review: Great supplement for Calc!
Summary: 5 Stars
I used this book as a supplement to Calculus I and II courses. Cliffs breaks down limits, derivatives and integration in a very simple way. You don't have to be a "math nerd" to grasp this book. During calculus lectures I would reference the book in class to make sure I understood the professor. There were even a few times when the professor asked to use my Cliffs in class because he knew the book had great examples. Needless to say I got an A in the course. Now as a senior electrical engineering student, I still use it if I need to reference stuff that I forgot.
Just a warning though, if you want to be good in calculus don't just read the Cliffs and your textbook. Dig into the text or cliffs and work a ton of problems (beyond just the assigned homework) and you will pass the course.
Book Review: A sip of Calculus
Summary: 2 Stars
This book is barely a review, all it does is state the core concepts. You will neither understand nor be able to use much of what you learn to do in this book, except perhaps the limits section. I'd rather use this as a reference guide than as an outline. For a better outline which presents you with a better background before you delve deep into the topic of Calculus and explains topics and gives you an insight on the theorems, get Schaum's outline of Calculus. Otherwise, get this as a last resort.Book Review: Unhelpful
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this book because I had a good experience with both the Algebra and Algebra II Quick Review. This book, however has not helped me one bit. It's worse than using the textbook to learn!
The formulas it gives are too complicated and it doesn't even give you any shortcut techniques. I do not recommend this book to anyone who needs supplementary instruction in Calculus.
Book Review: Great Supplement to Your Thick Calc Textbook
Summary: 5 Stars
I would not of survived Calculus I without this handy little book. For a quick review and as a study guide, you cannot beat this little book when compared to your 900 page textbook.
