Product Description
Now students have nothing to fear Math textbooks can be as baffling as the subject they re teaching. Not anymore. The best-selling author of The Complete Idiot s Guide to Calculus has taken what appears to be a typical calculus workbook, chock full of solved calculus problems, and made legible notes in the margins, adding missing steps and simplifying solutions. Finally, everything is made perfectly clear. Students will be prepared to solve those obscure problems that were never discussed in class but always seem to find their way onto exams.
--Includes 1,000 problems with comprehensive solutions
--Annotated notes throughout the text clarify what s being asked in each problem and fill in missing steps
--Kelley is a former award-winning calculus teacher

 Great tool for learning calculus January 29, 2007

I'm not very good at math but with this book's help, I'm doing well in calculus. I frequently find myself saying "well, why couldn't the textbook just say that??" after reading the explainations given by Kelley. Things are very simplified but not so much that important information is left out. Another great aspect of this book is that it covers all of the important topics. Other math self-help books seem to leave out the one topic I need help with but this book aligns very well with the text I'm using (Thomas' Calculus Early Transcendentals). This book is definitely worth the $13. Highly recommended!
Best So Far! January 26, 2007

This book covers what you need before actually delving into the arena of calculus. This book assumes that you have at least a rusty knowledge of algebra and trigonometry. Hope this helps!
Excellent FIRST step to get you going. November 12, 2007

This is a great text for someone just getting into Calculus. The author does assume that one has taken high school Algebra and Geometry. Most of the concepts are introduced via the intuitive method rather than proofs but that is what makes the text very accessible. For the cost this is a bargain. Very good for the beginner and someone who wishes to get back into the subject after a long absence.
Great for self-study May 5, 2007

What a geat book, especially for self study. If you use it along with other problemn collections like the Schaum's series, you should be able to solve almost any problem in a Calc I or II level course.
Better than his other book! May 18, 2007

This book is 10x better than Kelley's "Idiots Guide to Calculus." Why is that? He solves more rigorous problems that you are likely to see in your Calculus homework. He completes every problem step-by-step (including the algebra tricks!) so you'll know how to apply the techniques to problems you are likely to encounter. Highly recommended!!
