The author, Chris McMullen, Ph.D., has over twenty years of experience teaching math skills to physics students. He prepared this comprehensive workbook (with full solutions to every problem) to share his strategies for mastering calculus. This workbook covers a variety of essential calculus skills, including:derivatives of polynomials, trig functions, exponentials, and logarithmsthe chain rule, product rule, and quotient rulesecond derivativeshow to find the extreme values of a functionlimits, including l’Hopital’s ruleantiderivatives of polynomials, trig functions, exponentials, and logarithmsdefinite and indefinite integralstechniques of integration, including substitution, trig sub, and integration by partsmultiple integralsThe goal of this workbook isn’t to cover every possible topic from calculus, but to focus on the most essential skills needed to apply calculus to other subjects, such as physics or engineering.
