Getting back up to speed with Calculus
I went back to school after a 8 year break, and was very worried that my calculus would be a long forgotten skill. Between this book and forgotten calculus, I returned to school confident that I was not going to be blindsided by applied calculus.

Introduction to Mathematical Logic, Third Edition

twisted pants unleashed on men
This is one of the more popular introductory textbooks on mathematical logic, with Enderton's being its biggest competitor. I prefer Mendelson's for its breadth of material and the choice of proofs he uses, which are generally the most intuitive (e.g. Kalmar's for the completeness of the propositional calculus). This is not to say that they are always constructive, as they many of them are in the ...

Excellent review book or supplemental book
As a math major and tutor I enjoyed this book and found it helpful when I needed supplemental exercises that were already worked out. For concepts I prefer "The Calculus Lifesaver". Another book worth mentioning is "The Humongous Book of Calculus Problems". Both are excellent books that explain some of the why's behind the problems. Of course there is no replacing a good teacher or tutor. ...

An excellent introduction and review of Calculus ......
I trudge back to this book again and again, being embarassed at having forgotten some basic idea or technique. This is an excellent supplemental text to a formal Calculus textbook like "Calculus " by Stewart. The writing is lucid and ideas are explained with the novice in mind. I find that reading this book first BEFORE getting into a meatier textbook helps me understand the material. My ...

I am VERY Happy with this Book - great 4 self-study
In order to take an advanced statistics course (since I have been out of college awhile) I have to take a calculus test. They gave me a sample of 60 questions from prior years and recomended a text that cost $180!!! Well for 1/15 of the price of the expensive text, I can get about 55 out of 60 questions answered through this one. The ones that are not covered in this book pertain to complex ...

A definite career builder for me
This is one of the elements of the Schaum's set that helped make my career. When I was first starting out as a college instructor, I was a math major but had little experience in computer science. In order to quickly flesh out my skills so that I could teach discrete mathematics, I checked this book out of the library and started working the problems. Although my background in abstract algebra ...
