Arco AP Mathematics: Calculus AB and Calculus BC

I definitely disagree with the negative reviews of this book. When I was taking AP Calculus, this review book helped me extremely because it provided many examples of pitfall mistakes that all students make. It gives good excercise questions after every section. It is concise, but very very comprehensive. Furthermore, if you are keeping up with what is going on in your class this is the ONLY book I recommend. Some might feel that some sections are not explained too deeply; however, this is more than made up for by the great example questions that are clearly picked wisely. This book very much helped me in high school for class and the AP exam. It is a wonderful book to have if you are going to stop taking calculus after high school but sometimes want to look back at something for a quick review. A definite plus.

I enjoyed working with this book. It contains a concise but detailed material that everybody should know when preparing for a AP or BC Examination in Calculus. The solutions to problems are short but complete. I found "authors notes" and "common errors" especially useful. Another good feature of the book are the problems that can be solved with a graphing calculators, which is the common tool for high school students.
