    Excellent Resource
  

*by T***L on Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2024*

This is a fabulous resource. I recommend it highly to other calculus teachers. Reading this book made me a better calculus teacher. I appreciate it very much—and it’s pretty funny at times!

    A True Lifesaver!
  

*by V***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2013*

I am currently in a beginning college calculus class. It is the last class I need to graduate with my associates degree in science and tranfer to finish my education. I have always been a BC student in math classes. Conceptualizing mathematics even on a basic level takes a long time. SO...when I finally made it to this last math class ever (I hope), I was really worried I would not graduate when I started to fail the class.Since I bought this book, my class has been SO MUCH EASIER! Not only do I understand what specifically we are being taught, but also what they do, why they do it, and what are actual real world applications of calculus. The Calculus Lifesaver is 100% easier to understand than the rediculously technical writing presented in my textbook and by my professor. This book allows me to better understand the technical language,too!I bought The Calculus Lifesaver along with The Complete Idiot's Guide to Calculus, 2nd Edition by W. Michael Kelley off Amazon. I seriously felt like i must be an idiot after weeks of attending class, studying with classmates, attempting to do the homework, and going to the math tutoring center 4x a week.Together, these books have been the single most effective thing I have tried. I start with  The Complete Idiot's Guide to Calculus, 2nd Edition by W. Michael Kelley to tell me what exactly each topic (like Limits or Derivatives) is, what they do and how they relate to one another in VERY BASIC ENGLISH. it has a few problems worked out step-by-step and explains what is happening while the problems are being solved. There are also a few practice problems. This book lays out the basic concepts. Then I move to the Lifesaver.The Calculus Lifesaver is a bit more technical than the Idiot's Gude, but after reading a chapter in the Idiot's Guide, I had no problem going through the coinciding chapter in the Calculus Lifesaver. The problems in the Calculus Lifesaver are of varying difficulty and are similar to the type and difficulty of the problems I am expected to be able to solve and evaulate in my class.If you are like me and just cannot think of anymore things to do to pass your calculus class, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you buy both theThe Complete Idiot's Guide to Calculus, 2nd Edition by W. Michael Kelley as well asThe Calculus Lifesaver: All the Tools You Need to Excel at Calculus... by Adrian Banneryou will not be disappointed.

    A thoughtful and friendly overview of Calculus 1 and 2
  

*by F***K on Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2014*

Last fall my son enrolled in Calculus 1 as a college freshman. I thought that, having taken calculus 40 years ago, it might be an interesting time for me to try a refresher -- so we agreed to put our heads together now and then.  Since the textbook (Stewart) was none too friendly, we soon started assembling background materials to help us along.  We bought several books, including this one; "How to Ace Calculus: The Streetwise Guide" by Adams, Thompson and Hass; and "The Humongous Book of Calculus Problems" by Kelley.  In addition, we picked up a copy of "The Calculus 1 & 2 Tutor" DVD by Jason Gibson, and checked out several of the many tutorials on YouTube.Now that the semester is over, I would say that Banner's book was the most thorough yet friendly treatment of calculus.  If you are motivated to learn calculus really well, and have the time to put into it, his book does a vastly better job than most textbooks in explaining the material in an accessible way.  At more than 700 pages, however, it is not a quick read.  If you're looking for quick help here and there on tougher topics, "How to Ace Calculus" or the YouTube videos provide a faster fix.A number of other reviews here mention that the book does not provide much in the way of practice problems, and recommend "The Humongous Book" for that. To be honest we felt we were exposed to plenty of problems in my son's course textbook, the various videos, etc., and did not end up consulting "Humongous" extensively during the semester.  But this may be an area in which everyone's mileage may vary.Also, although we like Banner's book quite a lot, we found the technical quality of his online videos made them hard to watch.  They were basically produced by setting up a camera in a classroom, and both the video and audio quality were problematic.Even so, as mentioned Banner's book is the most comprehensive treatment of calculus we found at a reasonably accessible level -- and if you are committed to mastering the subject, I'd recommend it highly.  I wish I had something like it when I went through calculus for the first time four decades ago (in a pre-calculator era, slide rules and printed log tables in hand ...)
