Understanding Calculus II: Problems, Solutions, and Tips

by Bruce H. Edwards

Calculus II is the payoff for mastering Calculus I. This second course in the calculus sequence introduces you to exciting new techniques and applications of one of the most powerful mathematical tools ever invented. Equipped with the skills of Calculus II, you can solve a wide array of problems in the physical, biological, and social sciences, engineering, economics, and other areas. Success at Calculus II also gives you a solid foundation for the further study of mathematics, and it meets the math requirement for many undergraduate majors.

But beyond these advantages, you will find that the methods you learn in Calculus II are practical, interesting, and elegant, involving ideas that are beautifully simple. Because it can model real-life situations, calculus has an amazing range of uses, and these applications come into full flower in Calculus II.

These 36 lectures were all new material for me. From more advanced techniques of integration with some applications, to infinite series, conic sections, polar coordinates and the introduction of parametric equations and vector-valued functions, the visual presentation and methods of explanation were perspicuous and interesting.
