Review # 1 was written on 2015-06-01 00:00:00 Eliza Layman Like so many of the books based on the assertion that it will quickly and effectively teach you advanced mathematics, this one does neither. In fact I always find it difficult to understand what the target market of these books is. If you do not understand calculus, then a book that simply shows you the basic formulas and how to use them will not be enough to take you to the promised land of understanding. If you do understand calculus, then your only reaction to the book will be one of boredom. The first chapter of 26 pages is a brief review of precalculus, hardly enough to prepare the novice and unneeded by the experienced. Chapters 2 through 10 (153 pages) then cover differential and integral calculus, there is no depth of explanation to the operations, you are shown what the formula is and it is then your task to execute it. The only valid market for this book that I can see is as a review for the person experienced in calculus that needs a quick refresher. As for altering the state of the utterly confused, I do not see that happening. This review also appears on Amazon
