"Calculus can test the limits of even the most advanced math students. This visual, easy-to-follow book deconstructs complex mathematical concepts in a way that's infinitely easier to grasp. With clear, color-coded methods, you'll get step-by-step instructions on solving problems using limits, derivatives, differentiation, curve sketching, and integrals. Easy access to concepts means you don't have to sort through lengthy instructional text, and you can refer to the Appendix for a look at common differentiation rules, integration formulas, and trigonometric identities. Concise lessons show you all the steps to solving a problem and are ideal for quick review of calculus concepts: a) detailed, color-coded methods break down concepts and problems; b) each mathematical concept or technique is clearly described; c) step-by-step instructions accompany each example; d) helpful tips provide additional guidance." -- Book cover
