Calculus Demystified : A Self Teaching Guide (Demystified) Reviews
Customer Rating:Summary: Calculus demystified
Comment: It is a good product that explains the subject in a clear and concise manner.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Disappointing
Comment: I have to agree with most of the negative comments posted here. I took several courses in calculus in college but wanted to relearn it quickly. Instead of dragging out my old texts, I bought of copy of this book. Big mistake. The volume is written for mathematicians. There are few practice problems, and the ones that are included do not have solutions! The chapter exams consist of extremely difficult problems, making the use of this text discouraging. I ended up buying Calculus for Dummies and using my old texts to get problem sets.
I would add that I also bought the 'Demystified' volumes on linear algebra and differential equations, and both of them were quite good. The calculus volume seems to be a dud, though.

Summary: disappointing
Comment: this is a cheap book that lacks many topics covered in my college calculus class.
Customer Rating:
Summary: What to do before the exam?
Comment: Whatevery your plan is, do not rely on this book. If you are reviewing the subject, this book will make you feel stupid. If it is your first time learning Calc., it will stop you from persuing mathematics.
The biggest problem is that it does not really teach you the material. All it does is give you an idea of how it works, and then gives you hopelessly complicated examples (which will have you thinking 'I will never learn calculus!'.)
If you are into 'the hardest possible way to learn something' only THEN is this book for you.

Summary: great
Comment: i personally bought this product for re studying calc that i had already learned back in high school. ITS GREAT!!!!
