 Better than Valium . . . December 11, 2005

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Precalculus is an excellent book for readers who want to venture into the Land of Calculus, but fear they have neither the skill nor the "mathematical mind" to do so. At the end of this journey, you'll feel calm, confident and ready to do battle with "The Calculus." Highly recommended to math-phobes everywhere!

Don't even think of starting calculus unless you have read this book. Even in the best of educations there is always something that remains uncertain and this book will clear those things up. Don't leave home without it!
Calculus is fun September 21, 2005

Like every book so far from Michael Kelly, it's fun to read.
The "you've got problems" sections are very good and pushes you to actually be very involved in the subject in stead of just read the book. It's gives you the right feedback if you did understand the topic. Much more than some questions at the end of a chapter.
Highly recommended!
An amazing book and worth every penny March 25, 2008

I started reading this book with no knowledge of Calculus or Precalculus, and I can wholeheartedly say that this book has increased my knowledge immensely. This book is written in a way that makes it enjoyable (as much as a math book can be) to read. A lot of other books make me space out with all of their jargon and inadequate explanations, but I don't have that problem with this book. If you want to learn start learning Calculus, this is the book to get.

This book is worth its weight in gold. However, it is not a substitute for a complete textbook. Mr. Kelley has a gift. He makes algebra and trigonometry easy to understand. My students rave about The Complete Idiot's Guide to Precalculus. Regardless of your ability level this book will significantly increase your insight and understanding. Many teachers can do precalculus. There are not a lot of teachers who are good at explaining precalculus. W Michael Kelley is great. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Precalculus is so good I felt compelled to write this review. You will cherish the book.
