Summary: WOW!!!
Comment: "How to ace calculus: the streetwise guide" is a most delightful book. It's been about 20 years since i've studied calculus and this book refreshed my memory as to the various concepts and techniques required to master CALCULUS I. I'll go a bit further in my accolades in assuring readers that this book cleared up some concepts that were not so evident in my first go-round with CALCULUS.
As for over-indulging egos, i feel that when an author or authors (as is the case with this book) can bring lucidity and simplicity to a subject that many fear, i don't mind if said writer(s) wish to pat themselves on the back a bit. What disturbs me much more is the bloated ego of a university prof who delights in the fact that most students do not understand the material that he or she is being paid to present in a comprehensible manner.
Again, i tip my hat to these guys for having written a most interesting, yet informative, mathematics text. :-)))
A+++++++

Summary: No Colostomies Here!
Comment: I purchased both of the How to Ace Calculus books: "How to Ace Calculus : The Streetwise Guide," and "How to Ace the Rest of Calculus: The Streetwise Guide: Including Multi-Variable Calculus."
Here in Boston, I went to several large bookstores and checked out all the "Calc Help" books. The "How to Ace" books are infinitely superior to the others. As a matter of fact, it is a whole separate species of book. The authors have an unusual ability to explain in a style that is crystal clear, and they make the subject a lot more hospitable with their wonderful sense of humor.
Most math texts are written by Ph.D. mathematicians who have absolutely no empathy or insight into the difficulties that non-math majors like myself encounter when setting out to learn subjects such as calculus. As a result, their textbooks are about as pleasant as viewing the aperture of a colostomy.
I just hope that the authors bless mankind with future titles, such as "How to Ace Differential Equations and "How to Ace Linear Algebra." If they are so kind as to do so, I can assure you that the world will be a better place to live.
