About the Author
A graduate of Brown University and the University of Wisconsin Law School, Mark Ryan has been teaching math since 1989. He runs the Math Center in Winnetka, Illinois (www.themathcenter.com), where he teaches high school math courses including an introduction to calculus and a workshop for parents based on a program he developed, The 10 Habits of Highly Successful Math Students. In high school, he twice scored a perfect 800 on the math portion of the SAT, and he not only knows mathematics, he has a gift for explaining it in plain English. He practiced law for four years before deciding he should do something he enjoys and use his natural talent for mathematics. Ryan is a member of the Authors Guild and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.
Calculus Workbook For Dummies is Ryan’s third book. Everyday Math for Everyday Life was published in 2002 and Calculus For Dummies (Wiley) in 2003.

Good Practice for Beginning Calculus!
This workbook is an excellent companion to Ryan's book _Calculus for Dummies_. In fact I might go so far as to say the two should be considered one volume. In this book you'll find the extra exercises and problems that may not have been copious enough in the _Calculus for Dummies_ book alone. And of course he also walks you through the solutions. I might have wished for more problems instead of the space to actually work them in the text, but that is a minor detail. Overall this is part of a set that serves as an excellent introduction / preview / study aide to beginning calculus. Although I suppose this work could be used alone by someone just wanting to brush up on their calculus via some worked problems. Either way its a good buy.

Perfect Dummy Book Companion
I got this workbook to go with the Dummies Calculus book as a suplement to my classes. It really helps to have additional problem made for you for practice. It has helped me study for tests countless times!

Calculus
Great book helped me through a mid-term when the teacher had lost me and most of the class. so good classmates wanted to borrow it.
