Items related to Calculus for the Forgetful
Calculus for the Forgetful is one of the shortest calculus books available: it can be read in a couple of days if needed. Yet it provides a concise treatment of single variable calculus, along with many exercises and more than 130 examples. Informal, intuitive language is used to present the theory in a nutshell. Some topics are omitted for the sake of brevity, and the book is focused on the core ideas, with just a few digressions here and there. Calculus for the Forgetful is an ideal complement to any of the comprehensive calculus texts. It can be used by students currently taking a calculus course, as well as by those who would like to review and organize their knowledge. Those who plan to take more advanced mathematics courses or are preparing for standardized tests will also benefit from it. The book is small enough to be carried around to other classes in which calculus is used.

About the Author:
WOJCIECH K. KOSEK has a Ph.D. in mathematics (1996) and currently teaches at Colorado College. He lives with his family in Colorado Springs.
Review:
(...) I believe that the author has very successfully accomplished his goals and that the book is ideally suited for readers needing a calculus refresher. For the key results, the author briefly, and often cleverly, explains the ideas, but it must be understood by the mathematically-inclined reader that details will be missing and subtleties overlooked. But what is given helps explain why a result is true and often helps remember the result. (...) All in all, this is a fine addition to the calculus literature that should help many students and ex-students of calculus as well as beginning instructors of calculus. --Kenneth A. Ross, MAA Online
A beatiful little book with substance. --Mike Siddoway, Professor of Mathematics, Colorado College
