calculus?

Any decent first year University text on Calculus will do you just fine. I have several good books that served me well during my studies and that I have used to develop University mathematics courses from.

Calculus and Analytic Geometry, by Thomas & Finney. Published by Addison-Wesley; and,
Calculus and Analytic Geometry, by John Fraleigh. Also published by Addison-Wesley publishers.

Other than that, just look up a couple of websites for univeristy mathematics departments and look at their recommended texts for their first year mathematical methods courses.

Thats funny, because i always regretted taking some many calculus classes in high school and college and only one quarter of linear algebra. Basic integrals and derivatives were necessary for physics but i have yet to make use of the integral of the inverse hyperbolic cosecant of something outside of a math test... anyways, to answer your question, when i need to look something up quickly, i usually go here:
http://www.math.hmc.edu/calculus/tutorials/
The tutorials are kind of terse though, so i am not sure how much they help in learning if you are completely new to calculus. If you are out of school already, you might want to try a community college class that you can take at night, since they cover pretty much the same thing as highscool or year one university calculus (in the US anyways).

I don''t know if they publish them in Canada as well, but I''ve found Teach Yourself Calculus helpful.

Just Plain Wrong

One good book that I would recommend is Calculus Made Easy by Silvanus P. Thompson and Martin Gardner. I found the book easy to read and very insightful. The other good thing about it is that it introduces topics in a order where one thing leads into the next. Physicist Richard Feynman used it to teach himself Calc when he was 15 so I think it must be be pretty good if he were to use it.

Get Calculus, by Larson and Hostetler.
Its not the easiest nor the cheapest, but it is a calc 1 course and i think it might go up thru calc 3 :-D


I came, I saw, I got programmers block.
