Prof. E McSquared's Calculus Primer: Expanded Intergalactic Version

Summary: request vs review
Review: As one who struggled with Calculus as well as "Math Anxiety", I can only say 'thank you, thank you, thank you'.
I also saw someone with a copy of the book in my first calculus class and I ran to the library. All copies were checked out! Once I went through this wonderful book, it baffled me that not one instructor was using or recommending it. Yet all the students knew about it.
If delta-episilon has you mystified, Prof McSquared can help. It was enlightening, encouraging and confidence building. I still use it as a refresher.
My only question now is - will there ever be a continuation into Calc II & III and differential? I await the arrival.

Summary: Saved My Calc Grade
Review: I'm a student at University of Chicago, and got into an advanced Calculus class, because of my good luck of having done well on the AP test. Immediately I was thrown into a confusing world of espilons and delta and omegas and proof and theorems not on the AP cirriculum. I am by no means an abstract symbol-based learner, so I was thrown by all these new concepts thrown at me at a breakneck pace.

Three days before my Calc midterm, and desperate to salvage my grade, I ordered McQuared's Calculus Primer.

And I was saved.

If you are a new student thrown by epsilon delta, and need a detailed, non-symbol based explanation to understand, this is the book for you. My only complaint is that the book only goes up to the first couple chapters of an real calc book (though at the high level of explanation it gives, it does those chapters justice at the highest level imaginiable.)

With its cartoony illustrations and backhanded sense of humor, Mc Square Calculus makes Calculus accessable and (dare I say?) makes learning fun.

Summary: Buffed
Review: Prof.E McSquared's surpasses all of the Calculus books in my opinion, thro I'm still studing it, I was coming along good until to page 97, Exercise: II.3.3, I understand all of it until I got to this (2-1/2E<-3x+5<2+1/2E),which is OK, but than look at this (1/2<-E so,(-1)1/2E>(-1)E or-1/2>-E, too). Then [2-E<2-1/2E<-3+5<2+1/2E<2+E or 2-E<-3(x)+5 <2+E!] He should had used page 96 to explain the latter; will he or someone please try to tell me what is he trying to say, or how I could contact him.

Summary: Prof. E. McSquared's Calculus Primer
Review: Reviewer Jerry Harper spotted a typo in the 1975 edition
of Prof. McSquared's book and calls for a reply. The answer
to problem II.3.3 on page 205 contains the WRONG statement
(BUT 1/2 e < -e...). PROF. McSquared GOOFED! It should be
1/2 e < e!! This is corrected in the Expanded Intergalactic
Edition NOW reissued and available: ISBN 0971462402.
