Which Calculus Book is Best for BC Prep?

[HappyTheMan]

Hi!

I have taken one year in calculus so far in high school( AP calculus AB) and I am signed up to take BC calculus next year. However, I would like to work on some calculus over the summer to be able to breeze through the material during the year so that I can move on to higher math. I bought Spivak's calculus already but I think that I need something less abstract and with more practice problems, while at the same time covering any material I would learn in BC.

Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance!

then just move on with whatever Calculus book you're using

It is written by Г.М.Хихтенгольц.i think it is a very good book to learn Calculus.

My favorite calculus book is by Swokowski:

I liked this book most, after every section, there are like 4 solved examples.
You can probably get a 2nd hand copy.

Get Early Transcendentals by Stewart

I suggest Stewart's book as an introductory piece for Calculus. You could also start with Spivak's calculus, and use Stewart as reference.

This may be too introductory for your needs, but the book "Essential Calculus" has a chapter of Motivational Problems that you might enjoy working through:
