SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding effective calculus workbooks for mastering differentiation and integration. Warren expresses dissatisfaction with Larson's 9th edition due to its limited problem sets, indicating a need for more extensive practice. A recommendation is made for Schaum's outlines, which are known for providing numerous problems and detailed solutions, making them ideal for reinforcing foundational calculus concepts.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic calculus concepts, including differentiation and integration.
  • Familiarity with problem-solving techniques in mathematics.
  • Experience with using educational workbooks or study guides.
  • Ability to analyze worked examples for learning purposes.
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore Schaum's Outlines for Calculus to access extensive problem sets.
  • Investigate additional calculus workbooks that focus on practice problems, such as "Calculus Made Easy" by Silvanus P. Thompson.
  • Learn about online resources and platforms offering calculus problem sets and solutions.
  • Consider joining study groups or forums focused on calculus for collaborative learning and problem-solving.
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for students in calculus courses, educators seeking supplementary materials, and anyone looking to strengthen their calculus skills through extensive practice.

Hi,

I'm looking for a god drill book that has 100's of not 1000's of differnntiation and integration problems and worked out answers.

I'm finishing a summer session of calc 1 with an 85% but don't feel like I have locked down all the basics it went so fast. I know I need to have the basic down solid and the only way I will get that is by doing problems. Larsons 9th ed that I'm using is not helping as it just doesn't give me enough work. It has 8-10 of each variety...I probably need 100 and to se a good step by step to check my work.

Thanks,

Warren
