Calculus Books for practice integration problems and calc 3

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on finding practice books for definite and indefinite integration, specifically targeting easy to intermediate problems. A recommended resource is "Technical Mathematics with Calculus" by Linda Davis, published in 1990 by Merrill Publishing Company, which covers a range of topics including differential equations. Additionally, "Inside Interesting Integrals" is suggested for those interested in a more conceptual approach to integration techniques. Both books provide valuable practice and insights for calculus students.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic calculus concepts, including limits and derivatives.
  • Familiarity with definite and indefinite integrals.
  • Knowledge of differential equations.
  • Basic mathematical problem-solving skills.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Technical Mathematics with Calculus" by Linda Davis for integration practice problems.
  • Explore "Inside Interesting Integrals" for creative approaches to integration.
  • Study differential equations to enhance understanding of calculus applications.
  • Look for additional resources that cover prerequisites for advanced texts like Griffiths.
USEFUL FOR

Students of calculus, educators seeking supplementary materials, and anyone preparing for advanced physics texts like Griffiths will benefit from this discussion.

I am looking for a (practice)book that has problems on definite and indefinite integration from easy to intermediate.

also which book covers the prerequisites of calculus for books like Griffiths.(similar to the topics in chap 1 of Griffiths but more in-depth)

I bought the book "Technical Mathematics with Calculus" by Linda Davis in a bookstore quite a few years ago that has the problems you mention. I found the book relatively easy to follow and was happy with the purchase. It covers simple stuff up to differential equations. Mine is copyright 1990 by Merrill Publishing Company. Library of Congress catalog card number: 89-63150. International Standard Book Number: 0-675-20965-x. Good luck finding it or another one that suits you.
 
By the way, if you would like something a little more pure-mathsy I think you will really like "Inside interesting integrals", it's a very fun book which isn't so much a textbook as instead a discussion of cute tricks and clever approaches. I haven't finished it yet but what I have read of it is very nice.
