About the Author
A graduate of Brown University and the University of Wisconsin Law School, Mark Ryan has been teaching math since 1989. He runs the Math Center in Winnetka, Illinois (www.themathcenter.com), where he teaches high school math courses including an introduction to calculus and a workshop for parents based on a program he developed, The 10 Habits of Highly Successful Math Students. In high school, he twice scored a perfect 800 on the math portion of the SAT, and he not only knows mathematics, he has a gift for explaining it in plain English. He practiced law for four years before deciding he should do something he enjoys and use his natural talent for mathematics. Ryan is a member of the Authors Guild and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.
Calculus Workbook For Dummies is Ryan’s third book. Everyday Math for Everyday Life was published in 2002 and Calculus For Dummies (Wiley) in 2003.

A good companion to Calculus for Dummies
Calculus for Dummies is great if you want to understand the basics of calculus. Indeed, it takes you well beyond what might be seen as the basics. The Workbook is a companion text, with exercises some of which ought to be included in Calculus for Dummies. The exercises in each section of the Workbook become progressively harder, and/or quite tricky in places, and you need to return from time to time to Calculus for Dummies to reinforce your understanding of the principles there before tackling these harder/trickier questions. Fear not though as a full answer is given to each question at the end of each chapter of the Workbook. If you intend buying Calculus for Dummies then buy at the same time the companion Workbook. Both are excellent books. But don't be misled by "for Dummies" in the title. If you are a real gold-plated dummy when it comes to anything mathematical then Calculus for Dummies and the Workbook are probably not for you.
