Others who have no intention of ever studying the subject have this notion that calculus is impossibly difficult unless you happen to be a direct descendant of Einstein. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWell, the good news is that you \u003ci\u003ecan\u003c\/i\u003e master calculus. It's not nearly as tough as its mystique would lead you to think. Much of calculus is really just very advanced algebra, geometry, and trig. It builds upon and is a logical extension of those subjects. If you can do algebra, geometry, and trig, you can do calculus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCalculus For Dummies\u003c\/i\u003e is intended for three groups of readers:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eStudents taking their first calculus course\u003c\/b\u003e – If you're enrolled in a calculus course and you find your textbook less than crystal clear, this is the book for you.
