Schaum's 3000 Solved Problems Calculus

This book is a fabulous reference to problems I had to work through. I was failing calculus 2 up until the final. I decided to get my buns in gear and buy a few books to help me along. I purchased this book along with The Idiots Guide to Calculus and, no lie, I passed the class with a C instead of the F I was receiving. Very Helpful I'd recommend it to any Calc student in need of help!

This is a great book for anyone who wants to learn or supplement his or her knowledge of the subject. I have used this book along with others for my first year of college calculus and thanks to it i received an A, because of that I will continue to use it, it helps you understand the problems, but you actually have to think about them, you have to find out how equations are related or used, that is calculus, Calculus involves thinking if it didn't then anyone could be a physicist.

When you get down to it, the fact is that seeing a problem done is always better than being lectured on methodology. You won't find a better compilation of problem solutions than those in this book. I would recommend that anyone in Calc I or II get this as a supplement, because it could very well save your butt. As far as I can tell, it covers all the topics in my enormous textbook. There was a solutions guide available for the text, but it [isn't good] in comparison to this. Don't waste your money on other 'do it yourself' calculus books, this is all you need.

The problems are arranged in difficulty level, this gives you a sense of accomplishment and confidence as your banging out problems. Some questions require you to use insight and past experience to solve. If you get stuck, you can take a quick peek at the solution to get you on the right track. Some are so hard (relatively speaking, of course), you'll never ever see them on your test, but if you can solve them you'll have no prob on test days.

This book is essential for all mathematics students to understand both fundamental and advanced concepts of Calculus in depth. I strongly recommend to the publisher to reprint this book for the benefit of students who are interested to learn calculus better.
