Movie Reviews of The Calculus 1 & 2 Tutor - 2 DVD Set! - 8 Hour Course! - Learn By Examples!
Movie Review: a great companion to any calculus 1 or 2 course
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very good DVD that covers the basics of derivatives and integrals. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a refresher after some time away from calculus or to anyone who might need some extra help in the core calculus topics.
This DVD is basically Jason Gibson, the instructor, standing in front of a white board working calculus problems. There are no fancy menus, trailers, special features or Easter eggs! It's basically just a guy with colored markers and an eraser board. No bells and whistles.
It might sound a bit boring, but it really isn't. The instructor just cuts to the chase and makes it so easy to follow along. He primarily teaches by example, giving you the necessary skills to work problems. He does not go into too many proofs. For instance, on the topic covering the Chain Rule, he merely tells you how it works, but only briefly touches upon why it works. Yet, he provided about 5 very thorough examples, each one more complicated than the last. I will not fault him for his lack of proofs because this DVD is designed to be a companion to a calculus course rather than a complete calculus course. The Advanced Calc 2 DVD he put out is 14 hours long and goes into greater detail.
I had previously purchased Change and Motion Calculus Made Clear prior to this for double the price. It was much longer and I took very little away from it. I found that one hard to follow and almost unbearably boring to watch (even though that instructor used everything from graphs to toy cars to try and drive his point across). This DVD is much better. Give it a shot before before hiring a tutor! It could save you some money in the long run. I should point out that you need to be familiar with the basic trig identities as well as be comfortable with logs to get the most out of this DVD.
The only minor problem I could find is that he doesn't go into a lot of detail on limits and limit laws. But with that said, I will reiterate what I mentioned earlier. This is not a complete calculus course. Some universities split differentiation and integration into 2 separate semesters. So there is no way that an 8 hour DVD will cover all topics thoroughly. Gibson does do a good job at giving you a solid foundation on the core topics. He helps make calculus more user friendly and less scary!

Summary of The Calculus 1 & 2 Tutor - 2 DVD Set! - 8 Hour Course! - Learn By Examples!
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!
