Discouraged, I stopped trying to get it, figuring the brain, she works for programming and logic, but not for the math. I went to study groups, math labs, one-on-one tutoring and never could understand the basics.
He is a member of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.more Not sure where you went wrong (or right)? The answer section explains everything.ĪUTHOR BIO: Mark Ryan has taught algebra through calculus since 1989. Help is here again with 275 pages of equations and answers, with ample room for you to work out the problems. Add "Calculus Workbook For Dummies" into the equation, and you're sure to be understanding calculus quicker and sooner than you ever thought possible.
Well, calculus just picks up where they left off - it's simply the next step in a logical progression. You made it through algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. Sure, calculus is difficult - but it's manageable and doable. "Calculus For Dummies" covers the following topics and more: Real-world examples of calculusThe two big ideas of calculus: differentiation and integrationWhy calculus worksPre-algebra and algebra reviewCommon functions and their graphsLimits and continuityIntegration and approximating areaSequences and seriesĭon't buy the misconception. All explanations are in plain English, not math-speak. Then, you'll see how the calculus concepts work in concrete examples. Whenever possible, the author explains the calculus concepts by showing you connections between the calculus ideas and easier ideas from algebra and geometry. "Calculus For Dummies" takes calculus out of the ivory tower and brings it down to earth. It covers the most important topics in the first year of calculus: differentiation, integration, and infinite series.Students who need to brush up on their calculus to prepare for other studies - If you've had elementary calculus, but it's been a couple of years and you want to review the concepts to prepare for, say, some graduate program, "Calculus For Dummies" will give you a thorough, no-nonsense refresher course.Adults of all ages who'd like a good introduction to the subject - Non-student readers will find the book's exposition clear and accessible. "Calculus For Dummies" is intended for three groups of readers: Students taking their first calculus course - If you're enrolled in a calculus course and you find your textbook less than crystal clear, this is the book for you. If you can do algebra, geometry, and trig, you can do calculus. It builds upon and is a logical extension of those subjects. Much of calculus is really just very advanced algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. It's not nearly as tough as its mystique would lead you to think. Others who have no intention of ever studying the subject have the notion that calculus is impossibly difficult unless you happen to be a direct descendant of Einstein.Well, the good news is that you "can" master calculus. The mere thought of having to take a required calculus course is enough to make legions of students break out in a cold sweat. *Bundle The mere thought of having to take a required calculus course is enough to make legions of students break out in a cold sweat.
