This book is pretty good. I read it because I am about to take my Calculus AB AP exam and my friend will make fun of me if I don’t get a 5. I think this book was great as a review book, but I do not think this book is good at teaching math for the first time. I expected it to be a bit better considering that this book is meant to be a crash course and not a review.
I like how this book teaches more integration methods than just u substitution. One of my biggest complaints about my math class is that u substitution is all that is taught and I love other methods such as integration by part and integration by partial fraction decomposition. I also love how this book just stuck to how to do limits, derivatives, and integrals and did not try to cram applications of derivatives and integrals into this small book. I love how this book was very straight to the point with a lot of things and did not give really long explanations for things that don't really have to be explained.
I would personally recommend this to people that want to do a quick review a few days before a Calculus AB AP exam. I think this book is great as a review, but I would never recommend this book to someone that hasn’t already been taught all of this. The lack of really long descriptions on everything is great for review, but bad for someone that hasn’t already learned it.
