TL:DR - Pros: Good for introductory students, and self-study review. Keypoints per section, and execute. Mistakes? Here's EXACTLY why!<br>Cons: No laborious exposition on history/theory/definitions needed for later courses, BUT reminds you of algebraic/geometric 'theory' to show you why your problems are erroneous.<br><br>Review:<br>This is a great primer for someone that's starting Calculus or has already done classes and completely forgotten everything.<br>It gives provides about a half-page of notes and keypoints, as if you just got done with the lecture.<br><br>I remember in college getting so frustrated getting erroneous answers even using Stewerts Solution manual, chegg, wolfram alpha, AND the internet, and I would still be left clueless, distraught, stressed, and agrevating having to spend so much time to understand what I was doing wrong.<br><br>This small booklet has got you covered!<br><br>The book's notes and solution lets you know exactly what they're doing, even the 'trivial' algebra/trigonometry, which was the bane of me, and often provides the most enlightening.<br><br>This book always lets you know "hey remember that weird obscure algebraic principle your teacher told you 4 years ago and spent 45 seconds covering in-class". Well here's why you use it, and how it relates to being operated under derivatives and integrals.<br>Which I think is actually super useful for Mathematical Proofs courses later on, as people tend to have forgotten all the juicy bits and pieces of algebra and trig which this small booklet reminds you of.<br><br>The book gives you the 'lecture notes' as if you just got out of class and says "GO!".<br>The solutions give you such clear guidance for every step, and gives you the "why" did you just do that step "how did you do that" - 'this algebraic property/identity'<br><br>The problems are also unique to give you new ideas to think about, as opposed to the 50 same original problems that you get tired and tedious of and 5 random extremely tough problems that you have nothing to connect them to.<br>This book doesn't go over the theories and proofs, and history, etc, blah blah blah, that textbooks use to fill up the pages and bore the student to death to even attempt to read, let alone do the problems.<br>Gives you the 'lecture notes' and says "GO!".<br>The solutions give you such clear guidance for every step, and gives you the "why" did you just do that step "how did you do that" - 'this algebraic property/identity'<br><br>The problems are also unique to give you new ideas to think about, as opposed to the 50 same original problems that you get tired and tedious of and 5 random extremely tough problems that you have nothing to connect them to.<br>This book gives you unique problems, that give you progressively harder ideas to work with. Definitely not some of those crazy problems in textbooks, but it gives you the experience to tackle those head on.<br>This book starts slightly ahead of College level Material at derivatives curriculum starts at limits. So I'm surprised someone said it's only useful for highschool. The book picks up roughly where my Pre-calc Honors class ended in Highschool.<br><br>This gave me an excellent crash course and refresher in Calc to begin Real Analysis/Advanced Calculus! If you're a beginner calc student or advanced self-study looking for a review, this is your golden ticket! An absolute steal for $10.<br>Skip your lunch buy this book!
