Features & Highlights

  • Students often struggle to understand Calculus and get through their first Calculus course. And to make things worse, many popular textbooks reach a whopping 1,000 pages to introduce this crucial subject, needlessly frustrating and overwhelming students. Calculus in 5 Hours develops the confidence you need in approximately 124 pages.
  • You may not realize it, but you're smarter than you think you are. The problem is that assigned textbooks give exhaustive explanations of every proof and theorem in Calculus. But too many details can impair learning - especially when you're learning something for the first time - creating doubt and uncertainty in your ability to understand. What's needed is a straightforward guide to give you the basic concepts.
  • Calculus in 5 Hours is a good companion to any Calculus course and an excellent resource for refreshing your knowledge of the subject. Here's what it will do for you:
  • Organize your understanding of Calculus for quick and easy recall on tests and homework assignments

  • Instead, you'll get a straightforward and simple explanation of Calculus that can be absorbed in less than a day, strengthening your knowledge and confidence at the same time. This allows you to focus on what's truly important - gaining knowledge and achievement as fast as possible.

Over Promises readers Quick Comprehension of Calculus.

East to read. Not so easy to understand. Calculus takes a novice months of study and problem solving to grasp.
This book is good review for those who already have plowed through courses in differential, integral and differential equations. Any novice who reads the book in five hours and thinks they have learned the subject will be hoodwinked.

Concentrated Knowledge (a must have book)

I read that book without interruption! I solved almost all exercises used the companion site in doing so and it was very helpful!

From data to information, to knowledge to insight and finally to wisdom! Well reaching to wisdom might need some other traits as well... but TRUST ME! If you understand the concepts that are explained so ARTICULATELY, you will gain insight even to things that are about to take place.

No this is not a book that turns you into an ORACLE, it is a book that will make you understand if a price of a certain equation (for instance) is going to fall after rising!

PS: THE CONCEPT OF ANTIDERIVATIVE CUTS SHORT WHOLE SEMESTERS!
PPS: The writer and his team gladly answer and actually respond by changing the companion site!

More like calculus in a month or more...

If you are good with Algebra and remember calculus faintly then this may be worth your time. Otherwise, forget it. You'll be spending hours on one chapter alone. I got this for my daughter and she nearly crapped herself. There are better resources out there to catch up on your math like Khan Academy.

Fantastic primer / review of calculus

This book is an excellent high-level overview of calculus that isn’t weighted down by the terrible approach of “the hard way first”. By leading with the final concepts and laying it out in plain English this book has taught me more - and in a more effective way - than what I learned in a college semester course on the subject.

Lower the Price

I don't think I've ever written a bad review until now... In the book preview, the graphics are in color. Upon receiving the book, I noticed immediately that the graphics are not in color. This little complaint might not seem important, but it does mean the preview was deceiving. Also, for 8 dollars, the book is very thin, and it doesn't cover much content. I noticed in another review above that someone else paid only $3 for it. I wouldn't be so disappointed if the book had been a lower price.
