Calculus: A Complete Introduction: Teach Yourself Illustrated Edition

This is very useful to understand basic knowledge about calculus,

A generally good refresher; however, if you are weak in algebra, you should do a refresher on that first. There are section dealing with trig, so brush up on that too.

This is an excellent introductory text that does a great job at helping you develop the intuition for problems in single-variable calculus. I've gone through it, and I'd happily recommend it to anyone else interested in calculus but who only have even just a faint memory of high-school algebra. One of my favorite parts of the books is its chapter on trigonometric integration, which offer unusual but successful trig substitutions to solve integrals.Apart from the numerous typos that other readers have pointed out, I'd also mention the main caveat of this book is that it barely covers any analysis. This book will be a great refresher on differentiation methods and rules and the methods of integration to achieve areas of 2– and 3D figures, but it only touches on power series in a brief chapter, and never returns. You won't find anything on Riemann sums, differentiability conditions, limits (beyond the bare minimum to differentiate), series convergence tests, etc., which you'll probably cover in depth in a Calc I or Calc II course. However, if your main drive was simply to get into calculus (as was mine), then it's a perfectly good book, and you can catch up on analysis later.ETA: I was wrong, there is coverage of Riemann integration in chapter 15.

Self learning and familiarizing myself with calculus is a great guide with this book

wonderful

Excellent presentation.Great illustrations, questions, problems.Well done.Absolutely.Great print, great proofs, good layout.

. . . you’d better be good at algebra to understand it!

Good book to get back into Calculus.Some answers are missing but the examples are very detailed and easy to understand.
