Product Description
Many colleges and universities require students to take at least one math course, and Calculus I is often the chosen option. Calculus Essentials For Dummies provides explanations of key concepts for students who may have taken calculus in high school and want to review the most important concepts as they gear up for a faster-paced college course. Free of review and ramp-up material, Calculus Essentials For Dummies sticks to the point with content focused on key topics only. It provides discrete explanations of critical concepts taught in a typical two-semester high school calculus class or a college level Calculus I course, from limits and differentiation to integration and infinite series. This guide is also a perfect reference for parents who need to review critical calculus concepts as they help high school students with homework assignments, as well as for adult learners headed back into the classroom who just need a refresher of the core concepts. The Essentials For Dummies Series
Dummies is proud to present our new series, The Essentials For Dummies. Now students who are prepping for exams, preparing to study new material, or who just need a refresher can have a concise, easy-to-understand review guide that covers an entire course by concentrating solely on the most important concepts. From algebra and chemistry to grammar and Spanish, our expert authors focus on the skills students most need to succeed in a subject.

Great for Reviewing Calc 1 (or Calc AB) July 10, 2010
David Kopec (Hanover, NH United States)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this book as a refresher since it had been 4 years since I last did any kind of formal calculus class. For that purpose (use as a refresher) this is really a superb text. It offered a quick, plain English summary of a one year high school calc course (Calc AB AP) or a one semester college course (Calc 1 or equivalent). I doubt one could learn single variable calculus from this book alone, but it could also work as a nice supplement for understanding the main concepts of a first year calculus course.
With the exception of one of the later chapters entitled "Integration for Experts", I was able to follow all of the material in the book on first read, making it true to its "For Dummies" moniker. So, again, this is not a book for complete calculus neophytes, but rather a helpful piece of review material or supplemental coverage.
