Product Description:
Written by three gifted—and funny—teachers, How to Ace Calculus provides humorous and readable explanations of the key topics of calculus without the technical details and fine print that would be found in a more formal text. Capturing the tone of students exchanging ideas among themselves, this unique guide also explains how calculus is taught, how to get the best teachers, what to study, and what is likely to be on exams—all the tricks of the trade that will make learning the material of first-semester calculus a piece of cake. Funny, irreverent, and flexible, How to Ace Calculus shows why learning calculus can be not only a mind-expanding experience but also fantastic fun.

This book really makes me want to learn Calculus 2.After reading it, I find myself going back to my Calculus textbook for a deeper understanding. The explanations are very clear, humorous and to the point. I even ordered their "How to ace the rest of Calculus". I like the way they explain the derivative as being the slope of the tangent line. I enjoyed that book and I recommend it to anyone who may still hesitate to take a Calculus class.. Bravo!

I teach Calculus at the high school level and was very impressed with this book. I recommend it for my students as a supplement. It explains the concepts in "real words" and helps some of them understand. Also, additional examples that are well explained.

...given the mostly glowing reviews. Don't expect miracles from this guide. Nothing particularly enlightening in its contents, if you had stayed awake during classes....

Ok, I'm the type of person that likes to hold onto my old math books for future reference because we all tend to forget some mathematical concepts and equations as time goes on. This book is amazing. After having previously buying a disappointing DVD on Calculus, I had to find another source to supplement, and cover the ideas of Calculus. I found this book was extremely easy to reader and covers all concepts that you are likely to run into in your Calculus 1 and 2 classes. And best part is this book is very cheap compare to others out there yet it has concise and humorous explanations. I enjoy this book so much that it almost doesn't feel much like studying when reading it, yet I am better able to understand Calculus after each section. This book is definitely a keeper and maybe I'll even sell back my Calculus 1 and 2 textbooks to get some of my college money back. Good luck in your Calculus adventure.

I bought this book after seeing the reviews thinking it'd be wonderful but all it's good for is acting as a paperweight. There are no practice problems and the sections are very short. There are charts and formulas in the back but what's the point if they don't help you learn to apply them? IMO- Math takes alot of practice problems for success. I bought this and "The Humongous Book of Calculus Problems: For People Who Don't Speak Math", which I HIGHLY recommend. I'll now be buying "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Calculus" which is from the same author.
