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.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Excellent tool for learning, improving, AND keeping up your calc skills. This workbook is perfect for someone who wishes to brush up on stuff long forgotten or to reinforce skills for those just starting out. I wish I had this tool when I first took calc-1 in 1962. For the price this is an excellent bargain. Truly for learning calc there was no such thing as the good old days. Things today are fantastic for learning calc.

⭐This book is actually a companion workbook to the other book Mark Ryan wrote called “Calculus for Dummies.” I would recommend getting the theory book as well. This book is light on the theory, giving only a cursory introduction to the material in the beginning of each chapter. The book covers the basics of Calculus: pre-calculus, limits and continuity, differentiation, integration, and infinite series. In each chapter, he provides one to two dozen problems to solve, after giving a few examples first. All of the problems have full solutions – great! So if you have any difficulty, you can just check the solution for what you may have done wrong. The solutions are very clear and detailed. I think all textbooks should come with solutions to the problems. I find that having the solution available to study greatly enhances learning. The problems, I think, are well chosen. Ryan didn’t just throw in a few repetitive or similar problems to solve. The problems vary in type and difficulty. I think his problem selection is very good and will certainly benefit the user.I have provided here a suggestion on which chapters in the theory book correspond to which chapters in the workbook.1. Read chapters 1 to 6 in the theory book, and then do chapters 1 and 2 in the workbook.2. Read chapter 7 in the theory book, and then do chapter 3 in the workbook.3. Read chapter 8 in the theory book, and then do chapter 4 in the workbook.4. Continue in this fashion for the remainder of the chapters.Both these books are great for someone who has had calculus and needs a refresher or for the individual who is currently taking a class in Calculus and needs supplemental help. These books will give you a much better understanding than the more obtuse college texts.

⭐Good

⭐Too few examples but helpful .

⭐This book helped me out with passing Calculus when I needed it most. I had lots of fun working with this book and I passed my whole Calculus series at school thanks to this book.

⭐I am going back to take Calculus 3 in the spring and this has been a great refresher. Very well presented in easy to understand terms and full of good practice questions. Make sure you get the accompanying Calculus For Dummies book too. They work rather well together. Enjoy.

⭐This book has really helped me a lot. I’m in college taking Calculus. However, I’ve been out of school for over 10 years. Being in class with those kids half my age is really intimidating. With the help of this book, It’s giving me my confidence back to be able to compete with my class. 🙂

⭐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!

⭐Helpful in my studies.

⭐This book is very helpful when one wants to learn calculas. Anyone with an interest or even needing it for there exams will find it work a charm.

⭐Calculus for Dummies is great if you want to understand the basics of calculus. Indeed, it takes you well beyond what might be seen as the basics. The Workbook is a companion text, with exercises some of which ought to be included in Calculus for Dummies. The exercises in each section of the Workbook become progressively harder, and/or quite tricky in places, and you need to return from time to time to Calculus for Dummies to reinforce your understanding of the principles there before tackling these harder/trickier questions. Fear not though as a full answer is given to each question at the end of each chapter of the Workbook. If you intend buying Calculus for Dummies then buy at the same time the companion Workbook. Both are excellent books. But don’t be misled by “for Dummies” in the title. If you are a real gold-plated dummy when it comes to anything mathematical then Calculus for Dummies and the Workbook are probably not for you.

⭐It is certainly not a book for dummies. Worked problems have very poor explanations . It is a book for people who have learnt Calculus in their college days recently and need to brush up for some reason. Quite a strain to read every chapter.

⭐This will cover approximately 80-90% of all the content in a first year calculus course (assuming you are NOT an engineer or taking CALC 2)This will cover way more than enough for any high school calculus course.Great examples, humor, cheat sheet cards, and everything is written in plain english.Get it if you struggle with math!
