AI Thread Summary
Recommendations for a down-to-earth Calculus II book focus on finding resources that explain concepts in clear, accessible language, similar to "The Calculus Lifesaver" for Calculus I. Users express a need for materials that not only clarify concepts but also provide ample practice problems. The textbook "Thomas' Calculus" is noted for being abstract and lacking in examples, prompting the search for alternative resources. A specific website is suggested as a valuable tool for additional support in understanding Calculus II topics.

Any recommendations for a down to Earth calc II book? For calc I I relied on The Calculus Lifesaver to explain the concepts to me in English. Is there anything for calc II the explains the concepts in English &/or is just a book full of extra problems (granted different books cover different topics)? The textbook I use, Thomas' Calculus seems pretty abstract at times & has very few examples.
