Description
Calculus can be an intimidating subject if you don't have a good teacher. It is important to have a teacher that takes things step-by-step so the students don't get lost. That is exactly what this DVD set provides. I have tutored many, many people in Math through Calculus, and I have found that if you start off with the basics and take things one step at a time - anyone can learn complex Math topics. This 2-DVD set contains 8 hours of fully worked example problems in Calculus 1 and 2. After viewing this DVD course in Calculus 1 & 2 you'll discover that the material isn't hard at all if it is presented in a clear manner. No knowledge is assumed on the part of the student. Each example builds in complexity so before you know it you'll be working the 'tough' problems with ease! Have a problem with your homework? Simply find a similar problem fully worked out on the Calculus 1 & 2 2-DVD set! Topics Covered: Disk 1
Section 1: What Is A Derivative?
Section 2: The Derivative Defined As A Limit
Section 3: Differentiation Formulas
Section 4: Derivatives Of Trigonometric Functions
Section 5: The Chain Rule
Section 6: Higher Order Derivatives

let me just say this guy is a fantastic teacher. while watching his dvds (and ive watched two, the calculus series and the trig series)--i thought quite a few times, wouldnt it be nice if my college professors knew how to teach like this? ofcourse they can't even speak english.
anyways, this calc tutor dvd is superb if you are either in calc 1, or extremely extremely lost in calc 2. but don't assume just becuase its called 'the calculus 1 & 2 tutor' that it adequately covers calc II. it covers almost nothing. however, i sure wish i had this when i was in calc I. that said--if you are in dire need of help this may be your break. give it a try :)
just wanted to add the advantage of this dvd over having a live tutor--true you can't ask questions.. but you can rewind & rewatch to your hearts content, and you can pause it & try working out the problems, etc. try doing that with a human! or someone who only has an hour to work with you, and may get fustrated when they have to explain something 4 times. dvd's don't get annoyed! and did i mention how much more economical this option is? the hours of tutoring you get from this dvd for its price.. far ourweigh the mileage you'd get paying someone by the hour, for every hour..
 This is the best Calculus DVD on the market bar none. March 9, 2006

I have had a hard time in Calculus. It was probably my fault because I didn't master some of the fundamental concepts early on. I learned the hard way that the topics in calculus build on each other and if you don't understand the early material you will definitely not be able to master the later stuff. When I realized what was going on, I picked up a copy of this DVD, and after one single weekend of viewing some of the material on this DVD my understanding of this subject skyrocketed.
I think the reason is that the teaching style is so approachable...as you watch the teacher he actually makes you think that learning calculus is easy, which is a hard pill to swallow if you are struggling student as I was. Once those barriers are broken down, and you begin to realize that it isn't that hard at all, my confidence began to soar and I was off and running.
I would recommended this DVD to anyone taking Calculus. If you need some help like learning *how* to do the math without all of the repetitive lecturing then this DVD is for you.
No nonsense, systematic approach. March 23, 2006

I suggest that these DVDs be used by high schools and universities so that the students understand the basics in a clear and concise way without being confused. This set will give you the basic tools that will enable you to reason and explain to yourself and others as to why you should use a certain approach to solve a given problem. You will not have to rely on your memory because it will all make sense to you.
In closing I would say do not fear Jason Gibson's DVDs are here.
Throw away your book and just watch this DVD! December 26, 2005

Sometimes I get lost in my Calculus book....and when I do I pop this DVD and everything becomes clear. My grades have improved almost over night. Everything in the course is excellent but the parts that really helped me the most were all of the integration techniques...almost all of them are covered. Integration by parts, trig substitution...its all here. All you need to do is watch!

I used to absolute HATE calculus, mainly because the teacher was terrible and my book was even worse. I tried study groups, reading different books...but this video is what really saved my bacon! Now I'm actually teaching other students how to do this stuff.
