This is a must have if you are in college taking more advanced calculus classes. I wish that I have had this reference 25 years ago when I was going through college!

If, and only if, you are capable of explaining technical things in non-technical terms, can it be said you truly understand them. Mark Zegarelli truly understands Calculus, and because he does, so will you upon working through his book. Too often, writers of mathematics books seem more interested in impressing their readers than teaching them. Many times, I have come away from such a book declaring, "The writer sure seems to know what he's talking about. I only wish I did." This cannot be said of Calculus II. Mark Zegarelli is not out to impress you, he truly wants to TEACH you. And he does. Thanks to his many examples and explanations, a subject you may have approached with fear and trembling turns out to be one from which you walk away saying, "I can do that!" Nothing is more satisfying, or conducive to the learning experience. Zegarelli also avoids another of the traps so common to authors of mathematics books: too many authors write in such a way as to presuppose that you already know the subject you bought the book to learn. The wording of Calculus II is friendly, helpful, cheerful, and conveys all necessary information without patronizing or talking down to the reader. This enjoyable book will definately improve your grade. You need this book!

really excellent book. i use it as a supplement to lecture, and most of the time is it clearer that both my lecture and textbook. highly recommend it to anyone who wants a no non-sense approach to calculus II material and actually understand what's going on.

 Better Calc II Resources Out There... May 28, 2009
MathWizMom (Lake Buena Vista, FL United States)
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
Did anyone proofread this book before it went to press?!? MANY of the examples, particularly in the later chapters, are just slightly WRONG from a typesetting perspective, but completely wrong from a mathematical perspective. I expected better from the "For Dummies" brand.
Also, at least half of the book is review of Calc I. Coverage of Calc II topics is spotty. The chapters on integration techniques are pretty thorough, but the chapter on infinite series barely scratches the surface.
There are better Calc II resources out there. The Calculus Lifesaver by Adrian Banner is not quite as humorous, but at least I haven't found any glaring errors yet.
