The Calculus Lifesaver: All the Tools You Need to Excel at Calculus (Princeton

Description: "I used Adrian Banner's "The Calculus Lifesaver" as the sole textbook for an intensive, three-week summer Calculus I course for high-school students. I chose this book for several reasons, among them its conversational expository style, its wealth of worked-out examples, and its price. This book is designed to supplement any standard calculus textbook, thus my students will be able to use it again when they take later calculus courses. The students in my class came from diverse backgrounds, ranging from those who had already seen much of the material to others who were struggling with basic algebra. They all uniformly praised the book for being one of the clearest mathematics texts they have ever read, and because it reviews the required prerequisite material. The numerous worked-out examples are an ideal supplement to the lectures. The only difficulty in using this book as a primary text is the lack of additional exercises in the text. However, there are so many sites and sources for calculus problems that this was not a problem. I would definitely use this book again."--Steven J. Miller, Brown University "Banner's book is a chatty, user-friendly guide to calculus that will be a useful addition to the resources available to students. Banner does an exceptionally thorough job while maintaining an engaging style."--Gerald B. Folland, author of "Advanced Calculus" "This is an engaging read. Each page engenders at least one smile, often a chuckle, occasionally a belly laugh."--Charles R. MacCluer, author of "Honors Calculus" "This book is significant. The author's attempt to give an 'inner monologue' into the thought process that is needed to solve calculus problems rather thanjust providing worked examples is novel and is in line with his purpose of helping the reader get a deeper understanding of calculus. The book is well written and the author's examples are clear and complete."--Thomas Seidenberg, Phillips Exeter Academy "Each example walks you through the entire problem instead of skipping steps that some books consider obvious."--Santiago Imbertun, economics major "Adrian Banner's lifesaver book takes the complicated subject of calculus and makes it easy to learn with simple directions and illustrative examples."--Brad Gemberling, economics major "The Calculus Lifesaver" offers a refreshing new angle from which to approach the material. It provides clear, succinct, and reader-friendly ways to apply fundamental principles of calculus. Every time you sit down to read it you feel like you're having a casual conversation about numbers and identities-one filled with clever tricks and witty comebacks to your thoughts."--Milana Zaurova, premedical major "Adrian Banner covers every calculus topic and explains it in a simple way. That's the difference between his book and all other calculus textbooks."--David Mu?oz, Princeton University freshman "I took calculus when I was a freshman. "The Calculus Lifesaver" was a huge help that semester--in fact, I don't think I would have survived the class without it. It gave me an incredible amount of confidence and made the material so much more accessible--and also enjoyable. "The Calculus Lifesaver" made me feel that even an English major like me could succeed in math."--Kelly Sanabria, Princeton University graduate
