Description
Calculus can be an intimidating subject if you don’t have a good teacher. It is important to have a teacher that takes things step-by-step so the students don’t get lost. That is exactly what this DVD set provides. I have tutored many, many people in Math through Calculus, and I have found that if you start off with the basics and take things one step at a time – anyone can learn complex Math topics. This 2-DVD set contains 8 hours of fully worked example problems in Cal… More >>
The Calculus 1 & 2 Tutor – 2 DVD Set! – 8 Hour Course! – Learn By Examples!
Ordered late August. Two day delivery paid for. No delivery. After a series of emails, each one a tag more P.O’oed than the one before….and NONE were responded to. I finally threatened to go to AMAZON to get this resolve. Only THEN was the product delivered.
Approximately THREE weeks after ordering, it was finally shipped out.
The product may or may NOT BE good and of itself, just don’t expect to actually GET it before the semester is over.

The videos are a pretty good over view. But if you are needing them to help with a Calc class, they fall short. There are much more helpful and specific videos for free on the internet… check youtube.

This dvd set was little better than most I have used (the majority are not worth the time) but is still aimed very much at beginners. Covers the major topics, good for review and supplementary viewing.

I bought this DVD for a business math MBA class I am in that heavily uses differential calculus. I learned nothing from this DVD and I’m not sure how anyone could. Ok, it defined a derivative. It mentioned the chain rule. But there are five other rules needed to calculate most derivatives (constant function, power function, sums and differences rule, product rule, quotient rule). This did not show me how to look at the problem and know how to solve it. Luckily we’ve moved on to statistics in the class, so there’s still hope of me passing it, but the calculus part was a disaster.

I think its a good video for gaining a better insight into problem solving (learning how to solve problems in a calculus way). Just like the saying “practice makes perfect”. However,I just feel it lacks in giving you a good explanation of the theory behind the formulas. He does give a few visual examples of what a derivative and an integral mean graphically. Overall, I bought it because I recently had to take calculus 2 and had took calculus I three years ago and needed to review calculus I; and it served its purpose. I just wish someone would come out with a dvd set like this one that would better explain the concepts and the many different graphical ways of showing how calculus really works and can be used.
