Movie Reviews of The Calculus 3 Tutor: Volume 1 - 10 Hour Course - 3 DVD Set - Learn by examples!
Movie Review: Great Resource if you're willing to watch a college like lecture
Summary: 4 Stars
This DVD series is an excellent support for Precalculus and Calculus. Is this the right choice for you, though? You must consider whether or not you want to learn Calculus or be entertained. The presenter is not very entertaining - not boring, but hey, he's trying to present Calculus. Many videos are just a little less expensive but for 30 minutes to one hour of instruction. These videos provide 10-14 hours of instruction. So $ for $ I found these extremely helpful compared to others.
If you do not have the option of video-recording your professor or having access to other on-line Calculus video lectures, this is a great supplement for the serious student who can ignore the speaker continually saying "ok" (a bit annoying - 30 times per hour) and who doesn't mind this being like a videotaped lecture.
The presentation of the topics is usually pretty clear. It's great being able to rewind sections. I even occasionally ran the DVD at 1.5 and 2X speed to get through review sections faster.
Hopefully in the next several years there will be enough of these presentations on line for free by various professors - but if you're taking calculus now then go for this one today.
If you get Volume 1 of Calculus 3 definitely consider volume 2 as well.
Movie Review: Simply the best!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have purchased the following dvd's from Jason:
1) Calculus 1 & 2 Help
2) Advanced Calculus 2 Help
3) Calculus 3 Vol. 1 Help
4) Calculus 3 Vol. 2 Help
Let me start by saying that these videos are FANTASTIC! I am a "non-traditional" engineering student in my 30's. I was in the military for 11 years and am now back in school. With this large a gap inbetween school classes, I was bound to forget some topics. First day of calculus 1 class I was lost. That night I scoured the internet for tutorials etc and found Jason's site. I am so THANKFUL that I did.
Jason, just has a way with his teaching. He never rushes through topics, only gives you information that is the most important, and I think most importantly shows you how to work problems step by tedious step. With his dvd's and some practice I was able to get an A in calc 1 & 2, and am on my way to one in calc 3.
This Calc 3 video is especially well done. He absolutely does the BEST job I have seen at explaining vectors. They are a breeze after watching this video. The section on double integrals stands out to me as well.
If you are struggling, or just looking to raise that low A to a high A, believe me, these videos are the keys to your success. How can you go wrong with a study aid that actually takes calculus and turns it into "plain english"??? That is exactly what these videos accomplish!!
Movie Review: Simple Yet Thorough
Summary: 5 Stars
I was struggling in Calculus III because of a few concepts that went over my head in the beginning. I ran into "The Calculus 3 Tutor" while searching for study aids to bring up my grades, and it is more than worth the money. Jason breaks everything down into the most basic instructions, and doesn't skip any steps.
I love how you can just rewind it if you miss anything or need more clarity, try doing that with a University professor. :) I recommend this for any Calculus student that is struggling or just wants a better understanding of the subject.
