Rating: Summary: OSP - Only Solved Problems Review: Its very helpful book for students who enrolled in Calculus I and II courses (No matter whether high school or college courses). I had Calculus I and II. This book really helped me alot to get higher (even the highest) grades. But why I gave it 4 stars not 5? I'm enrolled in Calculus III for this semester. I realized it does not help me at Calculus III as I expected (It's an excellent choice for calculus I and II though).This book contains a plenty of helpful questions for those students who learn math better by examples. I suggest every student, who has this book, to keep it as second reference. Students should read through their classroom textbook, understand the matter, do their homewroks, then refer to this textbook as an extra material for solving a plenty of problems. Solving math problems through this textbook will help you to wash any difficulty/ambiguity away (Sometimes math students don't understand math by wordy text but by solved examples that illustrate the case and make things clearer through solving.) This book really up to it. Its an excellent choice for CalcI&II just go for it and don't even give it a second thought.
Rating: Summary: Recommend for Students Needing Help - No Brainer Review: The best way to learn calculus is to do problems. I was a professor for 8 years and it was a technique that I learned as a student at MIT and later passed on to my students. Do these problems to improve your scores on tests or just to pass if you are having a problem. To succeed in calculus do problems, problems, and more problems. Here is a book with 3000 problems. That will keep the student busy. Recommend buy. It is cheap and effective. Jack in Toronto
Rating: Summary: Excellent Practice for Tests Review: The problems are arranged in difficulty level, this gives you a sense of accomplishment and confidence as your banging out problems. Some questions require you to use insight and past experience to solve. If you get stuck, you can take a quick peek at the solution to get you on the right track. Some are so hard (relatively speaking, of course), you'll never ever see them on your test, but if you can solve them you'll have no prob on test days.
Rating: Summary: Got me through Calculus 2! Review: This book is a fabulous reference to problems I had to work through. I was failing calculus 2 up until the final. I decided to get my buns in gear and buy a few books to help me along. I purchased this book along with The Idiots Guide to Calculus and, no lie, I passed the class with a C instead of the F I was receiving. Very Helpful I'd recommend it to any Calc student in need of help!

Rating: Summary: This is a very good reference book in understanding CALCULUS Review: This book is essential for all mathematics students to understand both fundamental and advanced concepts of Calculus in depth. I strongly recommend to the publisher to reprint this book for the benefit of students who are interested to learn calculus better.
Rating: Summary: good concept but book falls short Review: This book sounds like a great idea, and to a student considering whether to get this or a more traditional book, I would recommend a book like The Complete Idiot's Guide to Calculus by W. Michael Kelley. You will probably have plenty of problems at your disposal in a calc class, so ones from Schaums don't necessarily correlate to what the professor is teaching. Furthermore there are many steps, but not always enough, and no explanations. I think it would be better to have 1000 problems with discussion rather then 3000 crammed in tiny print with bad formatting. That's the final qualm with this book, it is printed on poor quality paper and the ink is thick and the print is small and really crammed in there. Not what you need when there are so many sub and super scripts.
Rating: Summary: Calculus Review: This is a great book for anyone who wants to learn or supplement his or her knowledge of the subject. I have used this book along with others for my first year of college calculus and thanks to it i received an A, because of that I will continue to use it, it helps you understand the problems, but you actually have to think about them, you have to find out how equations are related or used, that is calculus, Calculus involves thinking if it didn't then anyone could be a physicist.
