Description
Calculus can be an intimidating subject if you don't have a good teacher. It is important to have a teacher that takes things step-by-step so the students don't get lost. That is exactly what this DVD set provides.

I have tutored many, many people in Math through Calculus, and I have found that if you start off with the basics and take things one step at a time - anyone can learn complex Math topics. This 2-DVD set contains 8 hours of fully worked example problems in Calculus 1 and 2.

After viewing this DVD course in Calculus 1 & 2 you'll discover that the material isn't hard at all if it is presented in a clear manner. No knowledge is assumed on the part of the student. Each example builds in complexity so before you know it you'll be working the 'tough' problems with ease!

Have a problem with your homework? Simply find a similar problem fully worked out on the Calculus 1 & 2 2-DVD set!

3 out of 5 stars quick and easy   November 8, 2009

Quick and easy review after a long lapse in learning calculus. Working examples are explained step by step.


3 out of 5 stars It's good enough to get by a class in Calc. I   September 1, 2009

I think its a good video for gaining a better insight into problem solving (learning how to solve problems in a calculus way). Just like the saying "practice makes perfect". However,I just feel it lacks in giving you a good explanation of the theory behind the formulas. He does give a few visual examples of what a derivative and an integral mean graphically. Overall, I bought it because I recently had to take calculus 2 and had took calculus I three years ago and needed to review calculus I; and it served its purpose. I just wish someone would come out with a dvd set like this one that would better explain the concepts and the many different graphical ways of showing how calculus really works and can be used.

I first stumbled onto Jason Gibson's DVD's when I was taking Trig a few years ago, and from there I've routinely ordered a corrosponding DVD set for any math class I was taking, or wanted to review. So, having viewed several DVD lecture sets by Jason up to this point, I knew that the Calculus 1 & 2 Tutor would be just like the rest of them: GREAT!
And, it was!
First things first: NO one can be expected to cover ALL the topics you'll cover in your first calc class. Next best thing? Having someone cover those k-e-y topics that allow you to learn all the rest of them much more easily; and that's where Jason Gibson comes in. He's VERY good using the DVD medium, showing you example after example of beginning, intermediate, and challenging problems.
These DVD's give a great over-view of the subjects learned in a university-level calculus class. You watch TONS of pertinent examples that strip away many of the complexities that you've come to expect from higher-level math.
Calculus isn't particularly easy, but Jason teaches you that with the correct tools, you can understand anything.
I could go on and on about these DVDs, but here's a recommendation for you: Get them now. They are very, very good.

Excellent! I never right reviews. Watch the video, pause the video, work out the problems along with the video. This was a big help for me. Just bought Advanced Calculus 2 Tutor, along with Calculus 3 Volume 1 & 2 Tutor. Cal 3 Tutor, is only necessary if you are taking more than one semester of Calculus.


5 out of 5 stars Wow! There isn't enough stars!   March 4, 2009

This guy is a great teacher. If you ever want to make calculus make sense to you, get this dvd. The 2 days I spent watching it, contributed 10 times more to my understanding of calculus than the whole semester of Calculus in college.
