SUMMARY

Students seeking additional calculus practice can utilize various resources beyond the Larson 8th edition textbook. Recommended texts include Edwards & Penney, Stewart, Courant & Robbins, Hardy, and Thomas, all of which contain challenging problems. For supplemental practice, Schaum's Outline on Calculus and the book by Demidovich are valuable, with Schaum's offering 3000 solved problems. Additionally, MIT's OpenCourseWare provides a moderate number of supplementary calculus problems for further study.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with calculus concepts as covered in Larson 8th edition
  • Access to standard calculus textbooks such as Stewart or Edwards & Penney
  • Basic understanding of problem-solving techniques in calculus
  • Ability to navigate online educational resources like MIT's OpenCourseWare
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore Schaum's Outline of Calculus for additional solved problems
  • Investigate MIT's OpenCourseWare calculus courses for supplementary exercises
  • Acquire a copy of Gradshteyn & Ryzhik to derive formulas
  • Look for problem books that focus on advanced calculus challenges
USEFUL FOR

High school students in AP calculus, college students studying calculus, educators seeking additional resources for teaching calculus, and anyone looking to enhance their problem-solving skills in calculus.

My calculus AP class uses Larson 8th edition. I am going over the book and would like additional practice in some of the topics. Is there any supplemental online site or free book, or any book in general that I can get a ton of challenging legit problems?

you could go to the library & get another book & solve all of its problems. & then another & another. edwards & penney, and stewart are other standard texts. courant & robbins, hardy, and thomas all wrote classic calculus books that have good (and HARD!) problems. or get a copy of gradshteyn & ryzhik & derive all the formulas yourself. schaum's has an outline book on calculus & also 3000 solved problems in calculus, both of which are fairly cheap, easy to find and worth keeping. there's an old soviet book by demidovich that's good too but might be hard to find.

Yes, look at MIT's OCW calculus courses, they have a moderate number of supplementary problems included. For more, get one of those mammoth problem books.
