Now students have nothing to fear
Math textbooks can be as baffling as the subject theyre teaching. Not anymore. The best-selling author of The Complete Idiots Guide to Calculus has taken what appears to be a typical calculus workbook, chock full of solved calculus problems, and made legible notes in the margins, adding missing steps and simplifying solutions. Finally, everything is made perfectly clear. Students will be prepared to solve those obscure problems that were never discussed in class but always seem to find their way onto exams.
--Includes 1,000 problems with comprehensive solutions
--Annotated notes throughout the text clarify whats being asked in each problem and fill in missing steps
--Kelley is a former award-winning calculus teacher
Synopsis
The only way to learn calculus is to--wait for it... do calculus problems. Lots of them... Sorry
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
