Gil Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 I'm looking for some calculus resources. Not textbooks, exactly, but trade books, videos, posters etc... If you have a recommendation for a really great textbook also, then go ahead and toss it out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanM Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 My ds liked Calculus for cats. I think someone on these boards recommended it. http://www.amazon.com/Calculus-Cats-Kenn-Amdahl/dp/096278155X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1445173622&sr=8-1&keywords=calculus+for+cats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regentrude Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 If you have a recommendation for a really great textbook also, then go ahead and toss it out there. AoPS. When we had to leave AoPS to use a standard text (Stewart) for multivariable, we were so sad. The problems were such a letdown, and the joy had completely vanished from the pages. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhudson Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Hands down, AOPS. My now freshman in college says AOPS more than prepared him for Honors Engineering Calc. None of the content is new to him. He did also enjoy LOF Calc, but he's crazy that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G5052 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I used Anton Calculus when I was in college and gave it to a friend when I moved from research to a policy job. Some years later I bought it again when I was tutoring DH through calculus, and I'v used it more with friends and relatives over the years. It's explanations just "click" with me and those I've used it with. Not as popular now, but it's widely available used in earlier editions for not much $. Sometimes having more than one book around helps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gil Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 Bumping because there have got to be more beloved Calculus resources out there, right? Anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie of KY Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 My son (AoPS lover) is also loving watching the MIT opencourseware calculus videos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad S Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 When we had to leave AoPS to use a standard text (Stewart) for multivariable, we were so sad. The problems were such a letdown, and the joy had completely vanished from the pages. That's the way I felt when I looked at Stewart's basic calculus too. Even in standard, non-AoPS books, there are many books with more joyful problems. (Multivariable calculus has much slimmer pickings IMHO.)

brendafromtenn Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Any one here used Derek Owens or Ask Dr. Callahan for Calculus? Thoughts? We have used DO for Algebra II and are presently using him for PreCalc. Just wondering about staying with through Calculus. Thanks!

Baile Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 The Hitchhiker's Guide to Calculus, by Michael Spivak. It's billed as a "course companion", but Ds read it as a preview and highly recommends it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
