<p>I read half of the Calculus Dummies book before switching to a review book. The Dummies book is really quite nice in that it introduces the concepts in a quirky manner. Princeton Review AP Calculus and Peterson’s AP Calculus are good review books and I think either one is enough to self-study with, at least I seem to able to understand the books well enough, though I don’t remember everything. If you have problems, you can always ask your teacher.</p>
<p>Gah, I’m really disappointed that I started self-studying calculus only to have the math department head refuse to allow me to take the exam, not even a chance…just a rant.</p>
