Calculus For Dummies, 2nd Edition

This is my first brush with calculus and I found it fascinating, enthralling and amazing! However, like all science and mathematics, obviously calculus is benign and neutral and does not say anything political or biased. Now I know that even more. I highly recommend this made easy to understand book!

I have only just started but already some concepts are becoming clearer. In one or two cases I have supplemented the explanations by research on the internet. Both taken together help the layman to start to see calculus through the mathematical lens as it cannot be appreciated otherwise. I say this however very much as a novice!

I bought as a refresher. Its ok, though somewhat laboured. That said, its worth reading and having as a supplimt to other texts. So, I would recommend

Assisted me with the hnc engineering maths. Didn’t read the whole book but was easy enough to give me the assistance needed

One sentence from this book lifted a cloud from my mind. It was a complete revelation of the whole concept of calculus. I wish someone had given me that sentence fifty years ago when I managed to pass maths exams with very little understanding. I am now reading this book purely out of general interest. I am only part way through but it has given a very clear revision of the maths necessary before encountering calculus proper. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the book but at my age I can only take in a little at a time.

Bought this for my me and my son. He still doesn’t understand calculus, but I’ve given it 5 stars because this will work for a patient well-adjusted adult like myself. I strongly suggest changing the title because this book will NOT teach calculus to a dummy.

Easy to use and understand

Pretty amazing book. Easy to understand (even funny at times!) and had all the necessary information. Loved it

A well written book by someone who understands the business of teaching. The format of this volume follows on very logically from the previous publication and presents the subject in an easily understandable manner.

Great explanations with comical interpretations

Excellent livre pour ceux qui veulent maitriser les dérivatives et intégrales.

Di facile lettura con esaustivi esempi. Per appassionati e studenti che conoscono la lingua inglese.

A must have for those who want to learn Calculus with fun and effortless
