## Description

The only way to learn calculus is to do calculus problems. Lots of them! And that's what you get in this book--more calculus problems than your worst nightmare—but with a BIG difference. Award-winning calculus teacher W. Michael Kelley has been through the whole book and made a ton of notes, so you get: • 1,000 problems with comprehensive solutions • Annotated notes throughout the text, clarifying exactly what's being asked • Really detailed answers (no more skipped steps!) • Extra explanations that make what's baffling perfectly clear • Pointers to other problems that show skills you need And all of the major players are here: limits, continuity, derivatives, integrals, tangent lines, velocity, acceleration, area, volume, infinite series—even the really tough stuff like epsilon-delta proofs and formal Riemann sums. So dig in to your heart's content!

Review: It will help you get through the first year of calculus - This book is mostly a problems repository. Like the author's other "humongous" books, from chapter 1 it starts giving you problems with very little setup or theory up-front. It does have a chapter introduction page that introduces the topic(s) in the chapter, but then it just starts in with example problems. But, unlike some of the other guides out there that have just a ton of example problems in them, the author does weave in the explanation of the theory in the form of margin notes that are added to explain how to tackle/solve the problems. Along with the theory, the author gives you tips for solving different problem types, advice on things to look out for, and marks the hardest kinds of problems with a skull and cross bones, which I think are good problems to go over before your exams. The book is good in that it does not just dive into the calculus material. The first 8 chapters (about 120 pages or so) are a review of algebra and trigonometry, making sure you have the fundamentals down in case you need to brush up on them, and then it gets into the calculus material. The calculus material covers all of the topics that you will be exposed to in the first year of calculus, starting with limits and ending with using integration techniques on sequences and series problems. It also goes over the introduction to differential equations that students usually get in the second semester, and has good examples for solving related rates problems and optimization problems. The book does not cover multivariable calculus, linear algebra, or the more complicated differential equations material that you will get in later classes if you need to go beyond calculus 1 and 2. This will, however, definitely help you get through the material in the first year of calculus, especially if you have a hard time understanding your textbook and/or your teacher.
Review: THIS IS AN AWESOME BOOK! - The HUMONGOUS BOOK OF CALCULUS PROBLEMS is an awesome book if you're looking for a great explanation or review of Precalculus and Calculus I and Calculus II. Consisting of 565 pages and 28 chapters, topics include: Linear Equations & Inequalities, Polynomials, Rational Expressions, Functions, Logarithmic & Exponential Functions, Conic Sections, Trigonometric Fundamentals (including graphs, identities, and equations), Limits, Continuity, Basic Differentiation Methods, Derivitives (Basic and Advanced Applications and Techniques), Finding Areas, Integration (The Fundamental Theorem, Rational Expressions, Advanced Techniques, Volumes), Parametric and Polar Equations. Also added is a one chapter review of Differential Equations and 3 final chapters dealing with Sequences, Infinite Series, and various tests analyzing them. The author's statement that "Just about every single kind of calculus problem you could run into is in here" is true! But to me, what makes this book really awesome are two things: 1) The author has complete solutions to all 1000 sample problems. 2) He also includes very helpful sidenotes explaining important steps in the solutions. Yes, for a person doing the book as a "Self-Study Review" its a dream come true! I noticed some reviewers have commented there are are no additional problems to try to see if you've grasped the concepts. I can understand their concern, but here is how I worked thru the book: I began each chapter studying the basic concept it dealt with along with the various definitions and side notes. Then I worked each problem in the order they appeared, checking my answer with the author's solution afterwards. Working thru the book this way worked for me. I suppose extra problems (with just the answers) would be nice at the end of each chapter but I was happy with the book as is.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Damn Fine better than Calculus Demystified!
*by J***N on October 30, 2010*

I just got this book and read through the first three chapters and perused through the rest. I'll read them thoroughly soon enough. So far this book is OUT-FRACKING-STANDING!!!! Loved reviewing linear equations, inequalities, slopes, functions, etc (and yes, I really did love it). Topics that I've long forgotten and haven't used since college in a College Algebra & Trig course way back in the mid-90's (yes, I'm old(ish)). This book is a God send. The explanations are easy to understand and most importantly--YOU GET IT! I needed something to help me with my review and preparation for Calculus and Krantz's inappropriately titled book "Calculus Demystified" (you can check out my sordid review on that book, later) wasn't cutting it. Kelley's book, along with Jason Gibson's Calculus 1 & 2 DVDs (see mathtutordvd.com) are a great combination, throw in Khan Academy's free Calculus video tutorials, and you should be rockin' in paradise, folks. However, being that the product description led me to believe this to be a workbook of actual Calculus problems, I was a wee bit disappointed not to find any problems to work at the end of the chapters (hence, the four stars). So, Mr. Kelley, how about some problems to work in the next edition? And don't just give us the answers to the odd numbered problems. Include the answers to ALL the problems. Bottom line, with or without the problems to work, get this book. It won't end up in a burn pile like a certain aforementioned book. Where's Fireman Montag when you need him?
