  • A got to have book for math enthusias

    I like everything about this book, as a matter of fact I owned the first book "How to ace calculus", it is so good and fun to read so I thought I may as well get the second book for the heck of it... Yes, math can be fun depend on who presenting it. I don't know why the authors don't want to write a whole book about this subject matter, in this very same format and offer for it to be use as text book in school. They could have saved many students from dropping out of calculus and be the defenders of the faith in Calculus, maybe?

  • As described

    Cheap and excellent
