Summary: Something to accompany the lecture
Review: Every class has only so much time to give you examples on how to work the different theories of calculus. This book, from the Schaum's Outline series, provides you with additional examples to supplement your classroom time. Each problem is worked out for you, so you can see exactly how the answer is reached.

The outline series also explains some of the concepts, like partial derivatives and Fourier series. At the end of each chapter are some supplementary problems to test your knowledge. Unfortunately, not all of them have the answer printed. It is still a helpful reference to help you master the concepts of calculus.

Review: I bought this edition of schaum's ad calc to
replace my beloved but dog-eared first edition
(by Murray Spiegel alone).

Luckily I held onto the original because this
version is a disaster in terms of typos introduced -
especially in the sections on transforms.
On top of that, the publishers inexplicably
placed Murray Spiegel's name second (and even
out of alphabetical order!!) on the cover. This is
an unforgivable disrespect of scholarship and of
the memory of a terrific author who was
single-handedly responsible for most of the
original and excellent math texts from schaum's.

Summary: Gets to the point
Review: I used this book during my undergraduate Mathematics program & quite frankly, it saved my skin. It cuts the fat & gets to the point. This is indispensible if you have to do a quick revision for tests or exams.

I really appreciated the "loads" of worked examples which greatly aided my understanding. It is best used as a *supplement* to other detailed books on the subject. It is still my prefered reference book on Advanced Calculus.

Review: In advanced mathematics there is no panacea, but this book makes the job of learning mathematics much easier than is popularly imagined.

Summary: swoosh
Review: These books are a cheap suplement for courses or whatever you desire, and in general, especially the ones written by the late Murray Spiegel, are quite excellent.

These books are certainly not intended for courses as they cannot go into extreme depth. However, if they are assigned, the student is assumed to have enough sense to venture elsewhere (the library maybe) and find supplemental books for learning in depth stuff. Thats all part of learning.

This book (now in an updated version with some really weird title which makes it worth buying alone! ) is quite excellent. Don't go and get it expecting to learn a course from. But it is good for a) a supplement for a course. b) a supplement for another course... it has lots of solved problems which oftentimes help in other courses and c) to refresh yourself on things you may have forgotten.

I'd also recommend you get Spiegel's Mathematical Handbook. It is absolutely indespensible. It is just a fantastic thing that everyone should have. When you are born, they should cut your umbilical cord and hand you a copy of Spiegel's Mathematical Handbook and you will have no problems ever in life. Get both. Get a whole lot of Schaums because they are so damn cheap and useful.

Summary: great!!
Review: This book has great sentimental value for me! I love this book!!! It's got everything you need to get through multivariable calculus course and/or vector calculus & Fourier Series. It doesn't really go into any analysis stuff though; it's all concrete, so you can look at this to get the 'rough & ready' versions of theorems/proofs & then find the more rigorous & abstract versions somewhere else, or later on in your studies. It's also a good reference since it covers a lot more than what you might do in a course, & could be helpful for more than one course. It has so many solved problems & theorems that might not be done elsewhere. Get this if you're in maybe 2nd-year math & are going to carry on in math, science of engineering.
