Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Hurricane Calculus covers the full range of very first year college calculus, from the concept of limits to the often complex partial derivatives and multiple integrals. It tells you in plain, simple terms what the basic calculus concepts are, provides you with step-by-step problem solving guidelines, and shows you plent of completely worked out examples.
Hurricane Calculus may be the most readable book ever written on the subject. There's very little of the mathematical jargon that often causes confusion. The book is full of examples drawn from actual real world applications. Its easy-going style is aimed directly at the reader who may be new to calculus or needs clarification.

I'm a math teacher who occasionally has to teach a Calculus class. (If you don't use it every day you soon forget it.) This book is my bible for refreshing my skills, and providing useful terminology and explainations written in English (not Math-eaze) that non-Math people can understand. Yes it does have errors in it, but this aside it's an indespensible supplement to all the dry, boring, textbooks that have error free examples but very confusing text.

It's a shame, hopefully the authors will revise this book. I would use this combined with another RELIABLE text book, or just purchase "Calculus Made Easy".

I wrote a review after I had gone through a few chapters, and I said there were "some" math errors... there are at least 50 critical math errors, including errors in the tables of trig integrals you're told to memorize. Don't buy this edition!

There is no excuse for the amount of errors in this book. Teaching/Learning from it is impossible because many of the examples, explanations, and answers in the back are dead wrong. I strongly urge any student seeking calculus help to use a real textbook.

This book makes every step clear and simple, and understandable. Whereas other books tell you what to do, this book helps you understand WHY. I'm taking calc for a pre-MBA class, and we're covering a full semester in ten weeks. Even though we are breezing through chapters at a time, this book makes learning the math more than possible.
