Calculus II Workbook For Dummies

Introduction

Calculus II is tough stuff by just about any standard.

In this book, I’ve done my best to explain the key topics that tend to hang students up as clearly and concisely as possible. I’ve also provided practice problems that I think will help you to make sense of this information, so you’ll be ready to take on similar problems that your teacher or professor might throw at you.

About This Book

Chapter by chapter, this workbook follows the typical order of topics in a standard Calculus II course. But please feel free to jump back and forth throughout the book in whatever order makes sense for you.

Chapter 1 provides an overview of the course, and then Chapters 2 and 3 give you a review of the Pre-Calculus and Calculus I topics you’ll need to know to move forward. In Parts 2 through 4, you learn a variety of integration methods, all of which are commonly taught in Calculus II. Part 5 focuses on basic applications of integration. Part 6 covers sequences and series. And in Part 7, I give you a couple of Top Ten lists related to calculus.

Additionally, for convenience, this workbook follows the same chapter-by-chapter format as Calculus II For Dummies, 3rd edition. Of course, you don’t have to buy that book to make good use of this one. But if you do want to use both books, you’ll find that corresponding numbered chapters cover the same topics, so you’ll be able to flip back and forth between them easily.
