| 3,000 Solved Problems in Calculus by McGraw-Hill A good PRACTICE guide - not a way to first learn the topic.... | I bought this book and several others to help my daughter with her AP calculus. Along those lines, this book is not very useful as the AP examiners have gone off and deviated from the traditional bread and butter calculus topics (volumes of revolution, techniques of integration, related rates, max/min/inflection points, etc.). They have fallen in love with calculating averages, the fundmaental theorem of calculus, and their calculators (see my other reviews). So if your buying this book for that purpose, it won't really help as this book covers only traditional techniques and topics without the need of a calculator.
HOWEVER, for a supplement to traditional class material, this is a great book. I agree with the prior reviewers that this is not a book that will teach you calculus from the start - you need to already know how to take a derivative and integrate, what is meant by a volume of revolution, related rate, and so forth. However, if you want EXCELLENT scores, practice is the key and this book gives you a lot of practice. After a while, you will realize that there are only so many variations on a particular topic that can be tested and they keep coming up over and over again (I orginally took calculus in the 1980's and ran across the same problems).
In summary, if you need to first learn the basics of the material, this book is not for you. If you already know the basics and want practice on the bread and butter topics, this is an excellent way to do so. I doubt that your instructor will give you problems not covered in some fashion in this book. | | 3,000 Solved Problems in Calculus by McGraw-Hill Be very careful! | If you want a reference book, this ain't it. Nor a textbook. You must understand the concepts before you even open the volume. It would then be a great help in applying your knowledge to real-world problems.
I say, "would" because the numerous typos and mistakes make it a dangerous tool to use. Some errors are obvious (if annoying), some will mislead and puzzle you and some, well... just pray.
I give it a three because it may still be useful. Just be careful how you use it! | | 3,000 Solved Problems in Calculus by McGraw-Hill Save your money | Every year a new class of desperate students buy into the Schaum no-help books. Save your money or try Michael Kelley.
Sincerely, Bert-Chapel Hill, North Carolina | | 3,000 Solved Problems in Calculus by McGraw-Hill Not Much Better Than a Solutions Manual | | I purchased this for a Calculus II course because the book I had had some rather challenging problems. I bought it because I thought it was going to be exhaustive in its solutions. Unfortunately this was not the case. Some problems in calculus require less explanation that others. For this book however essentially all are given the same weight. Because of this you are left with a "how in the world did they come up with that?" type of feeling at the end of the problem. It is a good book however and the sheer number of problems solved is helpful when you have very specific things in your homework you need to see. Also there are general lessons on the topic before each chapter. This is a good resource but should be used in conjunction with other calculus books. | | 3,000 Solved Problems in Calculus by McGraw-Hill Forget this, if you want the best and most comprehensive TRY | THE KING OF ALL MATHEMATICAL PROBLEMS!!!!!!!!!
