 Basic December 14, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this product thinking it would bring my calculus to a higher level. It didn't. The product covers the most basic examples which you can follow in your text if you are taking a class which would be the main reason you buy this DVD. This product was not helpful in doing the higher number problems at the end of the chapters let alone the problems on tests which require insight and creativity. This is the most basic of explanations of Calculus which most people should be able to follow in each chapter of their text.
 Excellent tutoring for Calc 1 NOT 1& 2 November 12, 2007

I highly recommend this tutor's Algebra, Trig, Physics, and Calc DVD sets. The calculus set, like the others, gives one a no-nonsence step by step tutoring in Calculus 1. I just love the fact that there is no annoying music and condescending skits to side track you (unlike other DVD math products). All you get here is a white board and a guy churning away example after example that really brings home the point.
One caveat. This set does not include Calc 2 - at least not the Calc 2 that I took back in 1972.
Excellent product.
 Good for very basic review November 3, 2007

I bought this having high expectations after reading other's comments about this dvd. However, this DVD is so basic that I do not believe it would help the average user in their Calculus class much. Although the instructor knows his stuff, his explanations are so basic and he gives no details into what you are doing that it leaves the students confused and lost. The instructor also doesn't seem confident when solving problems so that you may be discourage from listening further. Again, I believe this is a good basic, and I mean very basic review for calculus, if you are serious about learning the concepts there are much better (and often cheaper) books out there. After being disappointed with the purchase of this DVD, I bought "HOW TO ACE CALCULUS: The Streetwise Guide" from Colin Adams, and found it to have much more usefulness. It covers much more of the concepts that you will run in your calculus classes, is much clearer and the book is written so that it is easy to follow and it cost much less than half the price of this DVD. And lastly, after having bought this DVD and reviewing all 8 hrs of the instruction twice, I went back to the reviews other's had written for this DVD and found that although it has a lot of 5 stars rating, most of the people doing those ratings had only rated this product. Is it because somebody is trying to inflate this DVD's ratings? I guess I'll never really know but just trying to warn people to be cautious. Thanks, and good luck in Calculus.

Calculus had never been this easy till I made this purchase.For anybody intimidated by calculus this is how you surmount your fear, with Mr. Gibson.
Great basic review!!!! April 1, 2007

This 2 DVD set is a great review for basic calculus concepts. As others have pointed out, this set really is appropriate for Calculus I and does not pertain to Calculus II. It would be great if Jason produced a Calculus II DVD (or call it "advanced") for those of us who need more than what is provided in this basic set.
Although there is a plethora of review books out there, having a workbook or review book specific to the DVD set would also be a wonderful learning aid!
These DVD's (and the others produced by Jason) are concise, easy to understand and will help to clarify oft-used mathematical concepts. I would highly recommend these to anyone!
