Often, a simple tip or memory trick can make it much easier to learn and retain a new, difficult concept. I supplement the problem explanations with tips, shortcuts, and mnemonic devices. When you see that the problems aren’t that different from related algebra and geometry problems, they become far less intimidating. Many calculus problems look harder than they actually are because they contain so many fancy, foreign-looking symbols. Whenever possible, I bring calculus down to earth by showing its connections to basic algebra and geometry. About This BookĬalculus Workbook For Dummies, 3rd Edition, like Calculus For Dummies, is intended for three groups of readers: high school seniors or college students in their first calculus course, students who’ve taken calculus but who need a refresher to get ready for other pursuits, and adults of all ages who want to practice the concepts they learned in Calculus For Dummies or elsewhere.
