“Calculus for Dummies” breaks everything into simple terms, right down to explaining what calculus even is. I’m currently working through some nuclear reactor geometry. I passed college Calculus but it took me three times to do so. I love science, but I struggle with math. Reviewed in the United States on 1 September 2023 I stopped to write this before I finished this book and forgot to let you know it's definitely worth it for a middle age person who just wants to relearn the maths. I have to stop fawning over the book now so I can read it. ![]() So for someone who hasn't done any math past the basic 4 functions in 15 years, this book is amazing and I love it. I got behind in it and never caught back up (because it's math, you can't at college speeds.) I get math very quickly, but Calc was a huge speed bump. Those math descriptions in the text with their weird math proof language is not something I understood then or now, despite always being one of the best at math. I bought this book because just starting from chapter 1.1 of my college text book was not working. I've had A LOT of aha moments, either an epiphany of trig I didn't know way back when, or an epiphany because at one point I did know it but 100% do not remember and am learning it for the first time according to my brain. I love this book!!! I'm on chapter 8 and have had the book for 3 days (I am not a reader). I took calculus in college (through 3D calc but not DE) and the only thing I remember is basic differentiation like x^2 becomes 2x.
